Subject: Its me Fred...Reply
Dear Sir,
I am Fred Asante 24 years Ghanaian born to a former diplomat called Ambassador
Adu Asante who died from a mild stroke in 1999.I have never known my mother but
according my late father he met my mother in Brazil when he was serving the
then
government as head of consular service at the Ghana mission in Sao Paulo and was
later given an appointment to serve as Substantial Head of Mission as the Ghana
High Commissioner to the UK in the 1980's.
My late father then came with my unknown mother to the UK,my Dad was later
transferred to Belgium holding the same position as an ambassador
in Brussels.But according my late father,my mom decided to visit her parents
back home in Brazil and never returned until the untimely death
of Dad and may His soul rest if perfect peace.
As a single child of my late father i had to come back home to Ghana to live
with my late dad family but since then life has been horrible and even a house
that
was bought by my father has been taken over by my father's family and any
attempt to take them to court could be a disaster or may loose my life.
I contacted my fathers lawyer and the documents available shows that my father
left pure AU Gold Dust of of 60 Kgs in a security company in Brussels and
upon
contacting the company regarding the Gold,they have also confirmed the
availability of the Gold at their possession in their Brussels office.
I am therefore seeking your assistance to claim the gold from the security in
order to pursue my education which is very important to me to enable me
raise my status and standard of education through your help.
I would not hesitate to give you the chance to manage the finance after getting
hold of the gold deposited at the security company when sold.
All effort to obtain Belgium Visa to travel there to claim the gold has not
yielded fruits.
I have available documents proven ownership of the Gold.
I pray you have mercy and consider my plight to enable me further my education
to achieve all my goals in life and 30% will be given to you after successful
claims.
I hope to urgently hear from you.
Fred.
