Attention : The Managing Director
Dear Sir.
Pardon my approach without a prior consent. I got your contacts through my personal research and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium. Though, I don't know you in person but I still maintain my late father's theory that business is people and contacts.
After reading your profile from your country trade journal I decieded to unfold our investment plan to you of which we are convince as to seek for your assistance and help. I wish to inform you that my contacting you was based on my intension to invest in your country due to the on-going crisis in my country and for security reasons.
As a man that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody within my country as all those who benefited immensely during the regime of my late father have openly abandoned all my family.
I am Michael Robert Guei Jnr, the Son of General (Robert) Guei, the former Head of State of Ivory Coast who died along with mother and some members of my family in a gunfire attack on our home in Abidjan prior to the time of crisis which is presently on. To learn more of this crisis in my country and situation my father faced,check the website: <http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/ivory-coast.htm>
I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the business I am about to discuss with you. Before the death of my father, he secretly deposited the sum of $25,000,000.00 with a Finance and security firm abroad through a diplomatic channel whose name (firm) is withheld for now until we open communications. The money is contained in a metal box consignment with Security Deposit Number.
Presently, I am in Thailand and have certisfied the existence of the fund in the finance firm with all the appropate documents of the fund in my position as the beneficiary of the fund. I have also concluded every arrangement with the diplomat for the romoval of the safe metal box from the financial vault so that we can transfer the fund out of Thailand for investment purpose to your country because due to my current status as a political refugee I am limited to handle such huge amount of cash as I 'm prohibited from operating a bank account due to my status as refugee.
I have the intention of settling and investing here but due to the current economic crisis coupled with some ridged laws in Thailand, I am forced to look for somewhere else to embark on my investment. I am interested to do business relative investments in your country in areas related to hotel managements and buying shares in a company, to initiate a proper and structured relationship ,with hope to establish business relations with your esteemed corporation.
The fund being the basis of my future, your friendship, assistance and advise will be appreciated while relying on your guidance for a profitable business establishment. You will be rewarded immensely by being into a joint venture establishment and further terms will be discussed as we progresses or as you may propose.
With acceptance of my proposal you will be required to make a brief visit to Bangkok Thailand for a meeting, this will enable us to know ourselves better,sign a memorandom of understanding for a long-term period of investment and finalize arrangement towards moving this fund to your country. This arrangement is known to you and my junior sister (Susana) only. So I will deal directly with you. I am proposing a 10% share of the fund to you for your kind assistance.
Do not hasitate to reply me with your questioneries immediately you access this mail, and always remember that honesty and trust is the watch word in this transaction.
However, upon your acceptance to work with me as my partner, you can contact me immediately through this email or my above telephone number as I will be providing detailed information immediately I receive your acknowledgment identifying interest in working with me.
Thank you for your understanding and I'm looking forward to having a successful business relationship with you.
I anticipate an rapid response from you.
Yours faithfully
Micheal Robert Guei Jnr.
