Dear Friend,
I like to invest in your country. I am Samuel Dlovu from Liberia. I am the first son of Michael Dlovu, former Minister of Mines and Industry. My both parents were killed by the Liberia war. My Father deposited trunk box containing 33.6 Million U.S Dollars with Global Security and Finance Company Ghana for safe keeping and before death instructed that I should claim it to look after my only sister and my self.
My sister and I are now in Accra Ghana West Africa to notify claims of the FUND. I intend to invest this money abroad, hence my contacting you to advice me how best I can invest this money in your country. For assistance I offer 20% of the money. We have all the vital documents covering the deposit fund and the ownership which I can send on request.
Send your direct phone and fax numbers for more information on your reply.
Thank you very much for the anticipated acceptance while I expect your prompt response.
Best Regards,
Samuel Dlovu.
