Subject: REQUESTING A CIRCUMSPECT INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP.
Office of the Chief Security Operations Officer.
Gold Coast Securities Limited.
First Light Kaneshie
Accra-Ghana
REQUESTING A CIRCUMSPECT INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP.
Dear Friend,
I am George Nana, a Ghanaian married with three kids, the Chief Security of
Operations Officer of Gold Coast Securities Limited (GCS) Accra -
Ghana. I write
to solicit your kind assistance for business investment of mutual benefit.
In November 2005, one Mr. Hussien Omar Iraq National, who deal on gold
business
in Ghana and Asia, whom I was his deposit manager, he made a numbered time
deposit of trunk box, valued at US$20,500,000.00 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States dollars) for twelve calendar months in our
company. Upon
Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered that Mr.
Hussien Omar from Iraq, his wife and two children and wife's parents died in a
suicide bomb blast attack in Iraq.
My investigation proved that he died with his supposed next of kin in the bomb
blast. The trunk box which he deposited as gold contents is still in
our company
and the demurrage is being rolled over with the principal sum at the
end of each
year. No one has come forward to claim it. Consequently, I shall
present you to
stand in as the next of kin to late Mr.Hussien Omar. Thus, upon acceptance of
this proposal, I will give you detailed information on how this deal would be
carried out. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position as
the chief security operations officer to secure approvals and guarantee the
successful execution of this transaction as you apply for the release.
I want you to handle everything for me. I have the trust in you and I
know that
you will not disappoint me, I don't need to know you for many years to
trust you
it's all about successful business deal. If you have an idea of what should be
done to carry the money out of Africa, please tell me I need your advice
seriously and I have the impression that you are a nice gentle personality.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Kind regards,
George Nana.
