Subject: CRYING FOR HELP
Dear Attn:,
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since telephone
communication can not be suitable enough to communicate to you at first.
Being the only Son of my father, late Emmanuel Kofi from LIBERIA, My father
was limited liability Cocoa and Gold merchant in LIBERIA before his untimely
death.
After his business trip to GHANA ,to negotiate on a cocoa and Gold business
he wanted to invest in Ghana. A Week after he came back from GHANA, he was
attacked with my mother by unknown assassins, which my mother died instantly
but my father died after five days in a private hospital on that faithful
afternoon. I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I had
lost my mother.
But before he DIED, it was as if he knew he was going to die. My father, MAY
HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE he disclosed to me that he deposited the sum
of $21, 800,000,00 US Dollars (TWENTEEN ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS) IN GHANA . That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold Company
he wanted to establish in Ghana. Though, according to my father he deposited
the money in Security Company and handed to me all the relevant documents of
the deposited Box and instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust worthy
partner for a life time investment abroad. Now I have succeeded in locating
the security company here in Ghana.
Therefore, I am soliciting for your assistance to help me get this Box out
from the security company. If possible you can come over here in Ghana and
transfer the fund to your account so that we can invest it in any
meaningful/lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope
and source of livelihood. I am anxiously waiting to hear from you so that we
can discuss the modalities of this transaction.
All in formations needed is your personal telephone / fax number, your home
address and your personal photo . Please kindly contact me through the above
email address immediately for more discussion . Thanks for your kind
attention.
You can reach me through my alternative e mail princekofi4u@yahoo.com and my
phone number +233-2434-75266.
Yours sincerely Prince Kofi
