Dear Sir,
My Name is Tamiko Junior, it is my pleasure to write you, since I cannot be
able to see you face to face at first. Being the eldest son of my father,
late Dr. Frank Tamiko from Ghana (WA) I am 19 years of age. My father was a
Gold merchant in Koforidua before his untimely death.
After his business trip to Accra to negotiate on a good investment business
he wanted to invest in.
A week after he came back from Accra,
he got an accident with my mother of which my mother died instantly but my
father died after five days in a private hospital on that faithful
afternoon, I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I had
lost my mother, but before my father gave up the ghost he disclosed to me
that he deposited sum of $ 10, 500,000, 00 Dollars (Ten Million, five
hundred thousand us Dollars) in suspense escrow account with a reputable
bank here in Ghana,. He said that the money was meant for his Diamond and
Gold Company he wanted to establish in HOLLAND. He single handed me the
deposit certificate and instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust
worthy business partner for my lifetime investment abroad because I am too
young to handle this money. Now I have succeeded in locating the bank but I
was told by the bank director that the money can not be withdrawn here in
Ghana unless it is been transfer to another account overseas and also
confirmed to me that the money is there with most honest and
confidentiality.
Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me transfer this money out
from Ghana to your safe account abroad so that you will help me to invest
this money into any meaningful lucrative business in your country and after
receiving the money in your account you will help me secure my traveling
documents so that I can join you up in your country and also to enable me
further my educational career because this is my only hope in life.
I am willing to offer you 25% of the total fund if only you help me out of
my present predicament.
I also want you to know that all necessary documents covering the legality
and deposit of the funds in the bank are here with me which I can send
through fax to you for your view.
Waiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can proceed to the bank
Await your urgent reply.
Yours sincerely
Tamiko Junior.
