You may please browse the above link to get a sense of what I am about
to say. My name is Emmanuel Kofi Baah-Wiredu, only son of the late
Hon. Kwadwo Baah-Wiredu. My father died in September in a South
African hospital after undergoing surgery. That is the story made for
the public by the government of Ghana .
At the time of his death, he was the Minister of Finance and Economic
Planning, Republic of Ghana . But the truth is that he was a victim of
political power intrigue involving persons in very high places here in
my country and some economic interests in Asia . However that
situation will be discussed another day.
Before he left for South Africa , he called me and my sister being his
only children and informed us of a deposit he made in the care of a
Security Finance Services company in London , UK . He did this when he
became aware of schemes which he could not fight anyway.
Due to the uncertainty surrounding his death, it will be unwise to go
directly and apply for this particular piece of his estate. He
specifically advised us to look for a trustworthy foreigner that can
assist us receive and hold the funds so as not to raise any undue
interest.
We have therefore decided to appoint you beneficiary and turn over
this amount in your favor so that we can move the funds immediately.
Be assured that there is no risk involved whatsoever as due process
will be followed at all times. The opportunity is now because the
government in which he served is no more in power since January 7,
2009
Please respond to this email so that I can give you more details and
how our various interests can be protected and served. We have decided
to let you keep 25% of the total sum for your efforts. This is
exclusive of the benefits that may accrue from your participation in
the investments in property which we intend to make as soon as the
fund is cleared.
We await your urgent and considered response.
Emmanuel kofi William Wiredu,
