Subject: LETTER OF INVESTMENT
Dearest One,
It is a Good thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor against your will. I am Sarah Nkrumah 23 years old and the only daughter of my late parents Dr Douglas Nkrumah My father was a highly reputable Gold Exporter in Accra during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th February 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who traveled with him at that time. But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12th 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Four million, Six hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$4.600,000) and 114 Kg of Gold left in one of the leading Security Company in Accra Ghana West Africa.
He further told him that he deposited the money in my name, and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary and legal documents to this fund. I am just 23 years old student of Nurse and really don't know what to do.
Now I want Assistance where I can transfer this fund. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ghana the death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Sir, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. I have map out 20% for your assistance and 10% for any expenses that you
Might have incured during the process of transfer is it okay by you?.
Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.
With Sincerely
Sarah Nkrumah
