Hello Sir,
 
Please, may i ask for your patience to go through my story below and let me know if I will have your confidence to help me achieve the desired success of what I am going to disclose to you in this message?

My name is Thomas Peprah, I am contacting you on behalf of my elder brother Dr. Kwame Peprah, who is being incarcerated by the ruling party of Republic of Ghana , my father is politician under the platform of National Democratic Congress (NDC) executive committee. He along two other members, Alhaji Ibrahim Adam former Minister of Food and Agriculture, George Sipah Yankey, former Director of the Legal Sector, Private and Financial Institutions Division of the Ministry of Finance, were sentence to various jail terms, by the current ruling party New Patriotic Party (NPP).
 
My aim of contacting you is to crave your indulgence to assist me in securing some funds abroad for safe keeping on behalf of my elder brother, which he incidentally kept to finance the forth coming elections in 2008. Fortunately my elder brother were able to deposit the money (anonymously) with the security company's vault here in Accra-Ghana pending when the fund would be needed, which he told the security company authorities that it was precious item belonging to his foreign business partner in abroad for safety of the money not to be tampered until when he will be ready to ship it abroad.
 
The need to contact you arose from the fact that the present government is bringing down on the opposition and trying to trace all the funds that belong to it, which if they succeed in tracing this fund to my elder brother, they will seize it and thereby incapacitating his campaign abilities. Here my elder brother advised me to look for a foreigner that will be reliable and trustworthy to assist me to stand as my elder brother's foreign business partner abroad whom my elder brother made the deposit on his behalf, to claim the box of money from the security company and ship it overseas for your safe hand keeping in other to avoid any trace from the ruling party in government.
 
All I need from you is an assurance that you can handle the amount involved fifty two million United States dollars only (US$52,000,000) comfortably and that I can also trust you with this arrangement.
 
My elder brother is promising 25% of the whole amount for any assistance, so please get back to me as soon as possible if you will assist me in doing this business so that i will update my elder brother at the prison and get more details to give you.
 
I am not going to contact anybody else until i am satisfied that you are not going to be part of this project, please reply quick on willingness to enable me give you further details, since time is in essence.
 
Also I want you to carefully read this websites bellow and understand more about my father and his colleagues.

I am RICH !!


Dear Friend, (AND I HAVE A NEW FRIEND TOO---LIFE IS GOOD !)

I am Morgan Blair the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting  Department of UBS Investment Bank - London, and also the account officer of Mr. Hassain Balhas Ghadar, (THE MD MENEMENLIOGLU CONSTRUCTION SARL)of Israeli Origin. Unfortunately he died in the plane crash of Union Transport Africans Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou Benin Republic on the December 25,2003. You may read more stories about the crash on visiting these websites:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/

Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr.Hassain Balhas Ghadar had a fixed deposit account with the bank and no other person outside the bank knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved that his supposed next of kin died along with him in the crash. Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you. I contacted you to assist in transferring the money left behind by my client to your nominated account before the bank confiscates the fund.

Consequently, since l have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 5 weeks now. I seek your consent, to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued@US$55.5 million can be paid into your account and thereafter you and l can share the money.70% to me and my colleagues 30% to you. We shall procure all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claimas we progress. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable me seeing this deal through.

I guarantee that this deal will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. All document of transaction shall be destroyed immediately we receive this money leaving no trace behind. If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email me indicating your interest.Also include your telephone number for easy communication.

Have a nice day and God bless.

Sincerely,

Morgan Blair
