Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Mr Alex Attua from Ghana the son of eight
children from the family of late Mr Richard Attua.
I jsut got an offer of 29 million USD for the sale
of our family estate,and i wish this money should be
paid to me through my forgin partiner.
I want it this way because my mother is the last of
three wifes of which fortunately i am the only son
of my family,i do not want any of my late fathers
wifes to know about this,that is why i write to you
in confidence asking that the money should be paid
to you.
The estate is made up of forest and was restently
discovered through the activities of illegal miners
that the land contains Gold deposite.
I did not want any member of my family to know about
this,that is why i want the money to be paid
abroad.I want you to recieve the money over there
for me.So when you confirm the payment,you will send
10.000.00usd for my Visa and ticket to come and join
you up there,for the investment of the money.
Thanks and God bless
MR ALEX ATTUA
