Dear, sir/madam
My name is Tito Guei the Son of late General Robert Guei, the Ex-Military
Head of State of Ivory Coast, who was murdered along with the Interior Minister
on the 19th of September 2002 (You can visit
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm for complete report on this
incident). I contacted you because of my need to deal with persons whom my
family and I have had no previous personal relationships. Since the murder
of my father, I have been subjected to all sorts of harassment and intimidation
with lots of negative reports emanating from the Government and the press
about my family. The present Government has also ensured that our bank accounts
are frozen and all assets seized. It is in view of this that I seek your
co-operation and assistance in the transfer of the sum of Seventy Million
United States Dollars ($70,000,000.00) CASH being the very last of my family
fund in my possession and control, after the murder of my father the Federal
Government seized all our properties and our accounts both local and international
was frozen.
My only hope now is this cash that my father carefully packaged and deposited
as Non-Exposable Photographic Materials with a Security/Finance Company in
the South Africa with an anonymous name. I am presently in South Africa seeking
Asylum and to withdrew the money from the security company and put it into
use only to discover that it is against the human right law SECTION 22 OF
THE REFUGEES ACT NO: 130 OF 1998 that asylum seekers in the country are not
allow to carry out any financial transactions.
This money can easily be with drawn or be moved to a recommended beneficiary
country. I have with me all the proof and documents. Now based on the problem
my family is having presently, I will want to use your details to reproduce
a new certificate of deposit so that you will be able to claim this fund
from the security company, My aim of doing this is to make sure that my family
name dose not associate with the fund in the security company, As we do not
wish to give room for any suspicion.
To show my preparedness and appreciation to carry-out this business With
you, 35% of the total sum will be your share while 20% commission of the
proceeds realized from the investment of this fund will also be yours, also
5% is to be set aside for any eventual cost that might arise as the transaction
proceeds. I need your full support and co-operation for the success of this
transaction. I plead with you to treat this issue confidential and urgent
because it is delicate and it demands a great degree of secrecy. My email
address below:tguei@zwallet.com if you are interested to assist me. I sincerely
will appreciate your quick response. I wait to hear from you.
Regards,
Mr.Tito Guei
