Dear one,
l am Ahmed Ismali from Sudan. I arrived in Accra, Ghana with Ecowas Chartered flight recently.
My parents were killed by the rebels forces. Before my fathers death, he
was a gold marketer in Africa and has a cash deposit of USD$4.800,000.00
in a Bank in Ghana, He handed over the deposit certificate to me before
he died as a result of the gun shots aimed at his stomach and chest
I
decided to leave Sudan for my own safety and in search of help to
transfer the money overseas for investment which was the original plan
of my late father as at the time of the deposit.
i
need your assistance to transfer this money out of Ghana. I intend to
part to you 30% of the total amount while 70% i will appriciate your
timely response.To ahmed_1ismali@yahoo.com
Your sincerely,
Ahmed Ismali.
