INVESTMENT PROPOSAL

I am Tanko Usman, I got to know you courtesy of international business bureau here in ACCRA(GHANA). Sequel to my zeal towards foreign investment and also security for my life and my possession, I therefore write to give you a Breakdown of this proposal. I was the personal confidant to the president of Sierra-Leone (Alh. Tejan Kabbah) who was pushed out of office by a military coup carried out by disgruntled soldiers last year. However, when these soldiers struck, his excellency was forced to run into Guinea Conakry on exile, some of his closest aides left for some other countries too. While these events took place, I decided to move to GHANA with my family and a treasure containing the total sum of US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million US Dollars) which was part of the cash left under my control within the presidential mansion where I was in charge of securities.

With the help of a GHANAIAN Citizen, I was able to move the money to ACCRA (GHANA). On arrival here in ACCRA (GHANA)., I immediately deposited the treasure containing the fund into a private Security Company for safe keeping, although the security Company is not aware of the contents as they were deposited as privileged consignments. Right now, I am seeking for a partner who shall serve as the guardian of this fund with whom I can plan the best way to move this money for investment purposes which is my motive for contacting you. To be able to actualize this project, you are required to assist in the following manners.

1. That you shall be required to provide a good Bank Account where the money would be transferred and where taxation will not take much toll on the money.

2. That you shall serve as the general overseer and guardian of this fund and all investment thereafter.

3. To assist in providing me and my immediate family a permanent residential permit in your country after the money must have been transferred to your account.

For these services, a suitable percentage (%) will be mapped out for you after you have shown your willingness to assist, and most importantly all expenses involved in this transaction will be taken care of only when the money must have been transferred to your designated account.

So if you are interested reply me by Email for more details.

Having stated the above clearly, I expect to receive your response soonest as I do not intend to have this transaction delayed.

Please treat this as highly confidential.

Best regards,
Tanko Usman
