Subject: from Linda Ola Uwanaego
Good Day Sir,
I am Linda Ola Uwanaego , a Ghanaian Citizen and of 20 years of age. I am contacting you because I have a very good investment matter that I have been seeking from Abroad. My father was the commander of the gold district in my village and before his death he left the sum of US$6Million worth of gold and in cash in a security company here in Ghana for I and my 7years old brother knowing too well that his position is a risky
one because of high demand of gold and attackers from the western world and native people surrounding him. My father clarified the deposit as a personal belonging to the knowledge of the security company for security reasons and for the safety of the package,
which we have to claim before the end of this year. My father has paid for all the storage charges/fee of the package, which will be expiring at the end of this year, so that is why I am seeking to transfer this assets before the expiration date.
He made this money and gold from private sales and diversion of pure gold with his America friend Mr. Robert James Hollyford who I have been trying to contact right now without success. I am contacting you so that you will help to work as a foreign investor of my father that is supposed to take care of the cargos and receive them in safe hands.
Because an agreement was reached with the company and my father that his foreign partner will claim the cargos once we the children release the certificate of deposit and personal identification (PIN) to the investor. I and my 7 year brother have resolved to
give you 25% of the total worth if you will help us claim this cargo and invest them in your country where the government will not take much tax from the total
sum.
Please, if you wish to help, send me your contact telephone and fax number including address and I will contact you so that we can talk in details concerning this. As soon as I hear from you, I will send you my telephone number and my main aim is for you to help me come over to your country so that I will finish my education.
Hope to speak with you soon. Please email me with my private email on: lindauwa444@yahoo.no
Thanks,
Linda Ola Uwanaego
