Subject: MY DEAR, PLEASE ASSIST MY FAMILY !!

Dafur- Republic of Sudan.
My Dear,
Good day. This very Confidential request should not come to you as a surprise. It
is because of what is happening to my family urged me to contact you.
My name is Mr. Michael Anikom, the second son of Mr. George Anikom of Darfur
Sudan. At the height of the current political crises in my country, in which the
Rebel group of the opposition party in my country fights with the government
forces in their bid to take over the government of our country., my father and my
elder brother were brutally slained to a painful death on the 6th of October
2005, in their struggle to protect some civilians who ran to take refuge in our
house.
My father, during his life on earth was a prominent business man who trades on
Diamond and Gold from some African countries and sales to foreigners. He publicly
criticized the crude policies and crime against humanity on the civilians by the
Rebel Forces, in which they amputate young boys and girls for their failure to
fight .I therefore decided to move my mother and younger sister to Central
African Republic, for refuge. My Father, before his death, deposited the sum of
Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars [ $ 5,.500 000 m] with a
Gold and Security Company in the Republic of Ghana. For a cash and carry Diamond
an Gold business with his business customers, which he never completed before he
met his untimely death in the night of that faithful day. In view of this, and as
the only surviving son on my father l decided to come to Ghana to conclude
arrangements on how to secure this fund.
I therefore humbly solicit for your sincere assistance to help me accommodate
this fund in your country, until l join you since my country is not safe again
for any transaction.
Now this is what l actually want you to do for me;
1. l want you to be presented to this Security Company as the person l contacted
to assist my family accommodate this fund,and they have promised to deliver this fund
directly to your country or a closest country to yours where there is any difficulty.
2.To finally assist my family in managing this fund in any lucrative field in
your country for at least three years after l must have joined you to start a new
life.
Please, l hope you will be a very honest and reliable person to deal with, and
also grant and view this very request with favour and much understanding of our
unexpected bad situation presently.And also bearing in mind the confidential
nature of this my request, l emphasize, please you keep every bit of it to
yourself so as to protect my familys future and yourself rendering this help.
