Abstract: We prove that for any open Riemann surface $N,$ natural number $ngeq3,$ non-constant harmonic map $h:Nomathbb{R}^{n-2}$ and holomorphic 2-form $H$ on $N,$ there exists a weakly complete harmonic map $X=(X_j{)}_{j=1,ldots,n}:Nomathbb{R}^n$ with Hopf differential $H$ and $(X_j{)}_{j=3,ldots,n}=h.$ In particular, there exists a complete conformal minimal immersion $Y=(Y_j{)}_{j=1,ldots,n}:Nomathbb{R}^n$ such that $(Y_j{)}_{j=3,ldots,n}=h.$ As a consequence of these results, complete full non-decomposable minimal surfaces with arbitrary conformal structure and whose generalized Gauss map is non-degenerate and fails to intersect $n$ hyperplanes of $mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$ in general position are constructed. Moreover, complete non-proper embedded minimal surfaces in $mathbb{R}^n,$ $foralln>3,$ are exhibited.
