Hello:

How are you. First I most solicit strictest confidence to you and I pray that my desire to contact you will be given me genuine approvals considering the fact we have not know each other before which to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you.

I am Bentu kante from Liberia Monrovia I am writing to inform you my desire to invest and buy a living house in your country, I am the child of late Chiefs peter Kante my Father diamond merchant in my country before he died.

My father died of cancer due to smoking, before my father died he reveal to me and my mother about the Consignment containing $12.5.millionusd which he deposited with a security company here in Accra Ghana for safe keeping and investment purpose.

Presently my mother and I came all the way to Ghana since my father died to notify the security company for the claims, and we are stays in the camp here.

I and my Mother went to the security company for the claims of the consignment and the security company told us that before the consignment can be release to
us from the company we need a foreign partner overseas to receive the consignment because that was the Contract Bond Signed between my late father and the
security company, which I want you to lecture us on how best we can invest this consignment in your country, because my father told us that it's is dangerous to invest this money in Africa, due to market instability facing African countries that is why we
want to invest in abroad.

For your assistance, myself and my mother have agreed to offer our foreign partner 20% of the total amount of the money for your assistance and 5% for all expenses, we have all the vital Document covering the consignment which is (1, Certificate Of Ownership
,(2)Certificate Of Deposit (3) Contract Bond )and they are here with my late father Barrister here in Ghana.


Please note that I want you to keep it confidential alone. Which I will want you give me your phone numbers so that I can give you more information about
the transaction. Hope to here from you shortly
God bless you'' as you Do.
Best regard
Bentu

[konstabel els]

why bother with scams? all you have to do is claim asylum in the u.K. , free house ,health, benifits for the rest of your life - oh and here's the good bit - your family can all do the same, if anybody complains - report them to the police as a racist - they will be arrested and detained immediately -and remember the UK government will reward you handsomely for the more crimes you commit -everyones a winner -apart from the law abiding tax payer

Bentu Kante? Wasn't he in Roots?

Hello:

How are you. First I most solicit strictest confidence to you and I pray that my desire to contact you will be given me genuine approvals considering the fact we have not know each other before which to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you.

Len you should be ashamed...'in the strictest confidence' Bentu Kunte said... ..now everyone will read of his plight and may want a slice of the cash..!!

My father died of cancer due to smoking, before my father died he reveal to me and my mother about the Consignment containing $12.5.millionusd which he deposited with a security company here in Accra Ghana for safe keeping and investment purpose.

Presently my mother and I came all the way to Ghana since my father died to notify the security company for the claims, and we are stays in the camp here.

Now thats a bummer $12.5 million USD in the bank and he is staying in a 'camp'...

because my father told us that it's is dangerous to invest this money in Africa, due to market instability facing African countries that is why we
want to invest in abroad.

Market instability...thats all around the world, surely Bento reads newspapers.

Please note that I want you to keep it confidential alone.
Best regard
Bentu

There he goes with the confidentiality part again.. ..he won't be pleased i tell ye.
