Subject: FUND TRANSFER
Dear Sir/Madam,
I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you but do consider it as an emergency. In a nut shell, I
am Prince Greaves, 24 years old from the Republic of Serria-Leone, West Africa, now am seeking asylum (refugee) in Ghana
I got your contact from the Internet in Ghana for a possible transaction. My late Father was the Minister for Aviation and Tourism in Serria-Leone,
Mr.William Greaves
But he was killed along side with my Mother during the civil war in Serria-Leone and all his properties were totally destroyed. However, after their death I managed to escape with an important document -DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE of ($8.5M)USD. The said Fund was deposited by my late father in a Security Company here in Ghana . The deposit documents indicate me as the next of kin. Presently, I am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality to help me as follows:
(1) Stand on my behalf in Ghana as the beneficiary for the claim of the inheritance from the Security Company, since the Company advised that I should solicit for an individual or corporate organization to claim the deposit for me as they cannot release it directly to me due to my age and refugee status in Ghana.
(2)Transfer the money over to your own country and into your possession pending my arrival to meet with you.
(3)Invest and manage the money for me in a good business pending my maturity.
(4) Help me secure my traveling documents to meet you as soon as my money is released to you.
I will make you a joint partner of 20% out of the total sum of ($8.5m)USD,
Furthermore, on the acceptance and confirmation that you will help me, the letter of authority will be issued in your name that will enable the Security Company to deal with you on my behalf. I am giving you this offers as mentioned with every confidence on your acceptance to assist, adopt me as your son and manage the money for me.
thanking you in advance for your anticipated and swift response on receipt this letter.
Best Regards
Prince Greaves
