Subject: I write to inform you of my desire to invest,and to buy a living house in your country.
Attn: Sir,
First and foremost, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction
and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine approval
considering the facts we have not known each other before; I wish to use
this opportunity to introduce myself to you.
I am (Aka Morgan ) from Liberia, West Africa. I write to inform you of
my desire to invest, and to buy a living house in your country. I am the
first son of Mr. Opong Morgan; my father was a diamond/gold merchant in my
country.My father had a bullet shot by the rebels on his way traveling out
of my country with two of my younger sister's due to present crisis that
is occurring in our country (Liberia). My sister's died on the spot while
UN peacemaker, keeping force rescued my father, and he was taken to hospital
for medical treatment, which he later died. Before he died he revealed to
me and my mother about the box containing: some raw gold and $15.5 million,
(fifteen million and five hundred thousand us dollars). Which he deposited
with a security company in Ghana for safekeeping.
My father did not disclose the content of the box to the security company
to avoid the officials from raising eyebrows to the funds. Presently my
mother and myself are here in Ghana to notify the security company for the
claims, we are here as refugees . Therefore I want you to come down here
in ghana and be our beneficairy to this funds and withdraw
this funds out from the security company as the direct beneficiary of this
consignment and direct me on how best we can invest this money, because
my father told me that it is dangerous to invest this money in Africa to
avoid suspicions, and due to market instability coupled with economic and
political instability facing African count rise, that is why we
want to invest in Abroad. For your mutual assistance, my mother and myself
have agreed to offer you 25% of the total amount of the money. We have all
the vital documents covering the deposit and the ownership, which I can
send to you through
fax on request.
Note: I will like you to keep this as confidentail as ever. Forward to me
your fax and phone or mobile numbers for easy cominications. Waiting for
your urgent response.
Best regards,
Mr.Aka Morgan
