Subject: Joint Venture! Peter
Dear Peter,
Permit me to inform you of my desire to choose you as my Guidian/Investment
Manager.
I am Silas Watara,the son of late Mr and Mrs Watara Kwaki.My father was a
very wealthy gold and cocoa merchant who based in Accra-Ghana and Lome-Togo
respectively,my father died shortly after a brief outing he made with his
business associates.
When my mother died on the 7th July 1995, My father took me so special because
i was motherless and for the love my father had for my mother as his second
wife.Before the death of my father on the 10th November, 2002, in a private
hospital here in Lome-Togo. He called me on his bed side and told me that
he had a moderate consignment containing the sum of US$9,000,000.00(nine
million united states dollars)kept currently in a coded security company
vault in here in Lome Togo on my name.
I need a very reliable person whom i will present to the company as my Guidian/Investment
Manager, that i could entrust with the relevant Information associated with
the deposit to help me remove the fund from the vault by issueing him a letter
of authority.I need a reliable foreigner mostly because of the polygamouse
nature of my family,i would not like my step brothers
to know about this,it is only my father's private attorney that knows about
this.
He said that it was because of his rapid growth in business that he was poisoned
by his business
assocaites, that i should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice
where i will transfer this money and use it for investment purposes,I want
you to assist me in clearing this consignment into your care and custody
overseas and also assist me in investing it properly and to serve as my Guidian/Investment
Manager over this fund since I am 25 years old.
I will like you to make arrangement for me to come over to your country
to further my education.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you US$2,000,000.00(two million united states
dollars)as compensation for your effort/input after the successful transfer
of this fund to your nominated account.Then US$7,000,000.00(seven million
united states dollars)will be for our Joint Venture investment oversea.
Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe
that this transaction would be concluded within two weeks,from the day you
signify interest to assist me.
Please treat this transaction as confidential for this is the only hope of
my survivals.
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Silas.
