Arand Adams

Dear Friend,

My name is Arand Adams; I am from Ghana. It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent business proposal to you.
Some couple, of years ago, I was the President of Ghana Petroleum Cooperation. In 1999, a Briton called Mr. Burton who has been my good friend since 1995 came to Accra Ghana from London to buy Crude oil as he has been doing in the past. Whenever he comes, he always come with Millions of Dollars to purchase Crude Oil through Bunkering (illegal purchase without Authorized license) as Federal Government of Ghana does not encourage illegal exportation of Crude Oil/ Petroleum products, Mr. Burton was arrested when three of his company vessels were caught by the Ghana Navy in the high sea illegally loaded with bulk of Crude Oil for eventual exportation abroad. To this end, all the three vessels were confiscated by the Federal Government of Ghana.

In Accra Ghana, illegal Oil Bunkering (illegal lifting of Crude Oil) is an economic sabotage and it attracts life imprisonment as a penalty for a defaulter. For the fear of being jailed here, Mr. Burton ran away from Accra Ghana the very day I secured his release from the detention without even dropping a word for me. Due to my inability to produce Mr. Burton as I signed in the bail warrant, the Federal Government got me arrested and kept me under house arrest since the year 2003, pending when I will produce Mr. Burton based on what I signed in his Bail bond.

Since 1999, when Mr. Burton disappeared from Accra, he has made no phone call to me neither, did he write me nor my lawyer who made his bail possible. I have made several efforts to reach him, but the only information I got from somebody who claim to be the new occupant of his house in London was that Mr. Burton, his wife and his only son died in motor accident since 1999 and the man warned me not to call the number again.
In the last visit of Mr. Burton, he came with the sum of $22.2 Million Dollars (twenty-two Million Two Hundred Thousand United State Dollars Cash), which as usual I helped him to deposit in a security and finance company here, which I introduced to him in 1995. Since Mr. Burton ran away from Accra, I have been spending the sum of $500 Dollars every month paying demurrage to the security and finance company where the cash is presently deposited as a Gold dust in disguise, since the security and finance company does not know that the real contents of the box is money.
Since Mr. Burton is dead and has no next kin, I have made up my mind to invest this money abroad preferably in your country or any other country of your choice. It will be highly appreciated if you can assist me to achieve my aims because due to restriction placed on my movement by the government, I cannot operate a foreign account and cannot travel out of my country for evacuation and investment of the money. I need you as a partner whom I can entrust and channel this money on your platform in your country, I will arrange a meeting between you and my family concerning the safety of the transaction and to stabilize mutual understanding in both parties.

Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free and must be treated with utmost confidentiality, I have mapped out 35% of the total amount for your kind assistance while the balance of 65% shall be invested in a joint business venture with your when I regain my freedom from Government. Hopping to hear from you urgently, through below email address
Best Regards,
ARAND ADAMS
