DEAR SIR/MADAM,

I AM RAKUS GUEI, THE SON OF LATE GENERAL ROBERT GUEI EX-MILITARY HEAD OF STATE OF IVORY COAST, WHO WAS MURDERED ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR MINISTER ON THE 19TH OF SEPTEMBER 2002, (PLEASE VISIT http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm FOR COMPLETE REPORT ON THIS INCIDENT). I CONTACTED YOU BECAUSE OF MY NEED TO DEAL WITH PERSON(S) WHOM MY FAMILY AND I HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. SINCE THE MURDER OF MY FATHER, I HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO ALL SORTS OF HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION WITH LOTS OF NEGATIVE REPORTS EMANATING FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PRESS ABOUT MY FAMILY. THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT HAS ALSO ENSURED THAT OUR BANK ACCOUNTS ARE FROZEN AND ALL ASSETS SEIZED.

IT IS IN VIEW OF THIS, THAT I SEEK YOUR CO-OPERATION AND ASSISTANCE IN THE TRANSFER OF THE SUM OF TWENTY-SEVEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$27,000,000.00) BEING THE VERY LAST OF MY FAMILY FUND IN MY POSSESSION AND CONTROL. AFTER THE MURDER OF MY FATHER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SEIZED ALL OUR PROPERTIES AND FROZE ALL OUR ACCOUNTS BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL.

 MY ONLY HOPE NOW, IS THIS CASH, MY FATHER CAREFULLY PACKAGED AND DEPOSITED AS ARTIFACTS WITH A SECURITY/FINANCE COMPANY OUTSIDE IVORY COAST. THIS SUM OF US$27M CAN EASILY BE WITHDRAWN OR PAID TO A RECOMMENDED BENEFICIARY. THE SECURITY COMPANY BASED ON MY INSTRUCTIONS WILL RELEASE THE FUND TO YOU. YOU ARE TO BE PRESENTED AS MY BUSINESS PARTNER WHO WILL BE FRONTING FOR ME IN SUBSEQUENT VENTURES. AND IN TRUTH YOU WILL BE FRONTING FOR ME, IN THE AREAS OF BUSINESS YOU DEEM PROFITABLE.

TO SHOW MY PREPAREDNESS AND APPRECIATION TO CONDUCT THIS BUSINESS WITH YOU, I SHALL GIVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY US$5.4M OF THE FUNDS AND 20% COMMISSION ON ALL PROCEEDS REALIZE FROM THE INVESTMENT OF THIS FUND. ALSO US$1.35M IS TO BE SET ASIDE FOR ANY EVENTUAL COST THAT MAY OCCUR IN THE PROCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION.
PLEASE, I NEED YOUR FULL SUPPORT AND CO-OPERATION FOR THE SUCCESS OF THIS VENTURE. I PLEAD WITH YOU TO TREAT AS URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL. THIS IS A DELICATE ISSUE, WHICH DEMANDS A GREAT DEGREE OF SECRECY. HAVE MY CURRENT POLITICAL STATUS IN MIND

ALSO, ENDEAVOUR TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER THROUGH MY ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBER. I SINCERELY WILL APPRECIATE YOUR EXPRESS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WITH YOUR COMPLETE CONTACT DETAILS.

PRESENTLY, I AM IN THE NETHERLANDS AS AN ASYLUM SEEKER. I AWAIT YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE.

SINCERELY,


MR. RAKUS GUEI
