Subject: GREETING FROM GHANA
My name is Mr. Joseph Kuffour I hail from the Federal Republic of Ghana,45
years, married and blessed with Children. I am the Director of Global
Security & Finance Services Limited, Ghana. I got the information Concerning
you from the Internet and after due consideration, I decided to
contact you believing that by the Grace of God, which you will not
disappoint Me over this deal.
I have been working with this company for over Fifteen years. Within this
period, I have watched with Meticulous precision how African Heads ofState
and Government functionaries have been using
Global Security & Finance Ltd to move out money in different Dominations
such as: USD,
Pounds Sterling, French Francs (cash) to their foreign partners. They bring
in these consignments of cash and secretly declare the Contents as jees,
gold, diamonds, precious Stones, family
treasures, and duments etc.
Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire (dead), Gen. Sanni Abacha of Nigeria (dead), Fode
Sankoy of Sierra Leone, Babangida Of Nigeria, Felix Houphet Boigny of Cote
d"Ivoire (Dead), Kanan Bedie of Cote d"Ivoire (Abidjan), late Gnassigngbe
Eyadema of Togo (Dead) etc.
All these people have many consignments deposited with my office. Their
foreign partners, friends and relatives are claiming most of these
consignments. A lot of them are lying here unclaimed
for as much as eight years. Nobody will ever come for them because in most
cases, The
Certificate of Deposit is never available to anybody except the depositors
or me since most of them are dead. I have through the instrumentality of
Global security & Finance re-deposited all these
unclaimed and overstayed consignment into the Vault Facility of A reputable
Security Company in
Europe. Since the Inception of the year 2000, our company's management has
changed the procedure of claims of consignment, as Soon as you are able to
produce the secret information As contained in the secret file of any
consignment, it Will be released to you upon demand.
I have finalized every arrangement for you to claim Consignment No. 1401,
1402 containing $6.75 Million. I will supply you with all the information
and documents that will facilitate your easy claim of
the Consignment. Upon your positive reply of this letter, I will furnish you
with further
details and Information regarding the modus operandi for the Execution of
the transaction. This business is risk Free as I have taken necessary
preventive measures. (The mode of sharing will be
50-50), you can reach me by email and I will direct you on what to do. I
will like you to furnish me with your Physical address such as,full name and
your confidential phone and fax number(s) for easy
