Dear Sir,
I hope this mail meets you in good health and spirit. I am Prince Walter,a
Rewanda Citizen . Presently, I live as a refugee in Ghana, Accra, West Africa,
with my younger sister, Claris.
I am a victim of war and the son of late Chief Dr.Alfred Dangode, the assassinated
former assistant director of Rewanda gold and diamond mining corporation.
My father was killed with other government officials during official hours
when the rebel troops stormed and raided the mining corporation office at
the heat of the crisis in my country.
A few weeks later, the rebels also invaded our residential building in which
my mother and two of our security men were killed in the compound while
I was out for a special research program and my younger sister was in the
school.
I had a singular shock and trauma, which compelled us to flee from the country
to Accra Ghana by the help of an army colonel who, is a close friend of
my late father.
I have a first degree in marketing and would have furthered my education
if not for the death of my parents. I have never worked to earn my living
since my late parents had enough wealth for us.
I am contacting you now because of the present difficulty I am facing.
Unfortunately, my father's two accounts in West Africa have recently been
frozen. However, this did not affect the Seventhin million United States
dollars (US$ 17,000,000), which he kept in the security vault of a vaults
services company in Accra Ghana.
For now I am having every information and document needed for the clearance
of the money in the security company here in Ghana and I want you to act
as the beneficiary of the fund for easy and smooth transfer to your account
abroad for investment purposes.
You will no doubt be adequately compensated with a part of this money for
your personal use and benefit as well as a percentage of profit from investment
of the fund.
Also you will see to it that my sister and I come over to your country at
the earliest possible time.
I am making this request to you with tears in my eyes and I feel that God
Almighty will touch you with his spirit to listen to my cry for help and
answer me without delay since our breadwinner is no more and this is the
only hope for life.
Your positive response will give me the greatest joy and relief. Please
Respond me back at (walterfirm@yahoo.ca)
God bless you.
Regards,
Prince Walter.
