Dear Mr /Madam.
HOW ARE YOU AND THE MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY? I HOPE YOU ALL ARE FINE. I AM RICHARD ASIANA,I AM FROM CONGO BUT I AM NOW LIVING IN ACCRA GHANA.I AM THE ELDEST SON OF LATE JJJ ASIANA,WHO WAS THE OWNER OF JJJ GOLD AND DIAMOND
COMPANY IN CONGO. AFTER THE DEATH OF MY FATHER OUR FAMILY LAWYER BROUGHT SOME DOCUMENTS TO ME SHOWING THAT MY FATHER DEPOSITED TWO BOXES CONTAINING 90 MILLION DOLLARS EACH WITH A SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN ACCRA GHANA. I HAVE DECIDED TO INVEST THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY.
IT IS WORTHY OF NOTE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS VERY MUCH FREE FROM ANY RISKS OR TROUBLES AS WE HAVE PERFECTED ALL PROCESSES FOR A SUCCESSFUL MOVEMENT OF THIS FUND VIA DIPLOMATIC SYSTEM AS THIS IS USUALLY VERY SAFE AND SECURE. THE FUNDS ARE PRESENTLY UNDER
THE CUSTODY OF A SECURITY FIRM IN GHANA AIRPORT THE SECURITY FIRM OFFICIALLY DO NOT KNOW THE CONTENTS OF THE CONTAINERS WHERE THE FUNDS ARE,OUR CONTACT HERE ALSO HAS A TOP DIPLOMAT LADY FROM AUSTRALIA. ALL THESE HAVE BEEN PROPERLY MAPPED OUT TO BE VERY HITCH FREE. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAVE NOW, IS THE PERSON TO STAND AS THE BENEFICIARY OF THE CONSIGNMENT. AND THAT PERSON NEED TO BE GODLY PERSON THAT CAN AT ALL TIMES GIVE ACCOUNT OF THE MONEY.
WE DO NOT WANT TO USE ANY BLACK DIPLOMAT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS INVOLVED IN ONE PROBLEM OR THE OTHER.
WE WOULD HENCE REQUIRE YOUR :
FULL NAMES AND ADDRESS ( CORRESPONDING WITH YOUR
PASSPORT) OR THE FULL NAMES AND ADDRESS OF YOUR
COMPANY.
FULL TEL/FAX LINES
YOUR I.D NOS.
ANY OTHER PERSONAL DETAILS OR REMARKS.
PLEASE FEEL FREE WITH ALL THESE DETAILS BECAUSE WE ONLY NEED THEM TO ARRANGE FOR THE COURIER DOCUMENTS AS WELL AS FILLING YOUR DETAILS AS THE RECEIVER OF THE CONSIGNMENTS. THESE ARE VERY LEGAL PROCEDURES AND DOES NOT GO CONTRARY TO ANY INTERNATIONAL LAW AND A LAWYER HERE WILL ASSIST IN DOING ALL THIS.
AS SOON AS WE HAVE CONCLUDED THE COURIER OF THESE CONSIGNMENTS, I WILL START MAKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR ME TO MEET YOU IN YOUR COUNTRY.
AS SOON AS SHE ARRIVES YOUR COUNTRY PLEASE START MAKING NECESSARY ARRANGEMENT WITH YOUR BANK WHERE THE FUNDS WILL BE DEPOSITED IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD.
I AND MY FAMILY HERE WILL BE INTERESTED IN INVESTING MOST OF OUR FUNDS IN THE PROCUREMENT OF AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENTS WHICH WE INTEND TO BRING BACK. WE ALSO WANT TO INVEST IN ESTATE PROPERTY. BUT WE DO URGE YOU TO KEEP THIS TRANSACTION AS CONFIDENTIAL AS POSSIBLE. ALSO WE WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE YOU 30% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THIS PROJECT AS WE ALSO HOPE FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
LET IT BE KNOWN TO YOU THAT WE ARE A LITTLE BIT WEARY, BUT WE HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING THAT FRIENDS ARE DISCOVERED AND FRIENDS ARE MADE. WE HAVE COME TO THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE CANNOT ACHIEVE SUCCESS
WITHOUT TRUSTING SOMEONE IN THIS TRANSACTION. THIS BRINGS US TO THE NEED FOR BOTH OF US TO HAVE ABSOLUTE TRUST AND BELIEVE IN ONE ANOTHER AS WE CAN ONLY FAIL IF WE DIVIDE IN INTERESTS. LET TRUST AND HONESTY BE OUR WATCHWORD THROUGHOUT THIS TRANSACTION. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME OR EMAIL ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ,
THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS,richardasiana66@rediffmail.com.
THANK YOU AND MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU.
Richard Asiana.
