Subject: I NEED YUR SERVICE
Dear Sir\Madam,
My name is libyoma ahmed citizen of iraq and also a security guard attached to the state house, I just arrived Ghana through the help of UNITED NATION few days ago safely with a lugage declared as personal effect but actually it contains some huge amount in US DOLLARS but the said amount cannot be disclosed publicly due to security reasons.
the consignment is right with me in my hotel, I dont want to deposit it to the security company because I dont want it to accumulate any charges.
I kept the consignment with the Director of the Hotel who assisted me with $250 to settle the Driver who brought me to the Hotel, so i gave him my passport to hold to assured him that i will pay him back as soon as i have a foreign partner who will assist me out of Africa for investment purposed.
Sir, I need your urgent advise because I am afraid now, my safe box is intact with me, never disclose this to any body except you.Get back to me immediately .
Regards,
libyoma ahmed
