Subject: Request to partner with you in a deal

Dear Sir,

Being that we have had no prior contacts before now, I am quite aware that this email will come to you as a
surprise. However, I urge you to take a few minutes to read through this rather lengthy and unsolicited email
and then communicate your decision to me. By way of introduction, my name is Rafael Kashogi.

I work for a firm that was part of the team that renovated the Osu Castle which is the President’s office and
residence in Ghana and we were involved in the excavation of the extended project site as well as
reclamation of parts of the Labadi Beach that runs by the Osu Presidential Castle.

PROJECT BACKGROUND:

During the course of the excavation, we discovered several artifacts dating back several hundred years.
Some of this artifacts, we handed over to the Ghana Government, the rest we sold in the black market.
The artifacts were sold for 42.5 Million Pounds and payment was made in Gold bullion. This in itself is not a
problem, the problem is that given our involvement with Government contracts, our firm is, like other such
firms, liable to Governmental oversight and public scrutiny.

For this reason, we cannot be seen to have become suddenly affluent or living above our current means
without proper cause or justification. This has, therefore created a situation for us where we have this
money but cannot spend it. The bullion in question are currently held in deposit boxes with a bank here in
Ghana as part of the estate of a foreigner who lived and died in Ghana.

THE PLAN:

We wish to have a neutral person, preferably a foreigner, to liquidate the bullion and the proceeds deposited
in a regular bank account in the name of the foreigner for further transfer out of the country. Once that is
done, we would want our share of the funds to be invested and we can then live on the proceeds of the
investment for a period of 5 years while we build a cover to enable us pull back the bulk for whatever
purpose we deem fit at the time without cause for worry. To this end, we will get proper documentation
showing that the bullion were a part of the estate that you inherited.

We will have documentation to show that at some point, some relative of yours left you the bullion and you
will have the documentation (supplied by us of course) to prove this. That way, nobody will ask any questions
and the deal will sail through. We are willing to give you 30% of the proceeds and a further 10% as commission
for every proceed coming from the invested funds within the 5 year period.

You must understand that the way this has been planned, there is no chance of failure and no chance of this
ever being found out, therefore, there is no risk involved in this for you or for us. Should you wish to partake
of this deal, kindly email me through my alternate email address: rafael.kashogi@gmail.com

With very kind regards,

Rafael Kashogi
