Subject: From Paul Guei.
From Paul Guei.Accra-Ghana. West Africa. Good-day,
As you receive this unsolicited mail and may doubt how I got your mail contact. Well, I got your contact when I was browsing Ghana chamber of commerce, I came through your profile as a reputable and God fearing someone that can assist me without taking advantage of me at the end I decided to write you, though I did not mention the transaction to them.
I am Paul Guei, 21 year of age, the only alive son of one of the late PRESIDENT ROBERT GUEI from Abidjan, the Republic of Cote d`ivoire who was assassinated during the last political problem in cote D`Ivoire in the year 2002. I am the only son and my mother was his first wife though she is late now. though they were not married again before the death of our father as he divorced my mother because she was not educated, but because of me, when our father became the president, he deposited the sum of US$ 8 Million for me and my mother in a security company in Accra Ghana before he died.
I thought the political problem here will stop so that I can invest the money in Cote d`ivoire but because of the current crisis again I have decided to move the money out of Africa country for investment. For further details, see these sites, www.bbc.co.uk/french or www.bbcnews.com and get details of the current political crisis in Abidjan Cote d`ivoire. I need your mutual assistance to move this money to your Country for investment.
To be very honest and sincere with you, since the sudden death of my late father, I have contacted somebody in America to assist me in this very Project, but due the fraudulent activates going on in the world through the internet today and otherwise, all the people I have contacted felt I am not for real that is why I am writing you this mail with due sense of humanity and responsibility, and with the awareness that you will give it a sympathetic and mutual consideration. The internet fraudulent activities at the moment may make you to doubt my proposal but I want you to know that I am for real which I will send to you all the documents concerning the deposit of the consignment.
See the sites bellow to confirm my mail. (1) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/930254.stm (2) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/world/africa/2268110.stm (3) http://www.liberiaorbit.org/lonewsgueiout.htm (4) http://www.afrol.com/News2002/civ027_guei_killed.htm (5) http://www.hrw.org/reports/2001/ivorycoast/cotdiv0801.htm
Were you really come in is for you to assist me move these funds to your country and help to provide a safe bank account for the transfer. I will also need your advice on areas of investment when finally the funds get to your bank account.
The consignment was deposited in my name in a security company here in Accra Ghana and the total sum in the box was US$8 million (US$ Eight MILLION) replying urgently to my private mail address and send a copy of your response with your private Telephone to enable me call you for more details
Thanks and bye for now. Yours truly, Paul Guei.
