ABIDJAN COTE D?IVOIRE

LETTER OF ASSISTANCE



ATTN: PRESIDENT / CEO,

It is my pleasure to write you after much
consideration, since I cannot be able to see you face
to face at first.I am Charls .k./Roselin Iyalla, the sons of late Mr Thomson
a Nguessan I from Kwatanatal Zulu in Republic of South Africa (SA).I am
26 years of age.

Our father was a limited liability of Cocoa and Gold merchant in Johnesbourg
South Africa before his untimely death. After his business trip to Abidjan-
Cote d?Ivoire. A week after he came back from Abidjan,
he got an accident with our mother of which my mother died instantly but
our father died after five days in a private hospital on that faithful afternoon,I
we didn?t know that our father was going to leave us after we lost our mother,but
before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going
to die.He my father, (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) he disclosed to
me that he deposited the sum of $24,000,000,00 US Dollars ( TWENTY FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS) in a security finace company here in Abidjan ? Cote d?Ivoire.

That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold company he wanted to establish
in Abidjan ?Cote d?Ivoire though, according to my father he deposited the
money in one trunk boxes but declared it as vital family belongings/Africa
at works. He single handed me the keys of the boxes and the deposit certificate
and instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust worthy business partner
for my life and my only sister time investment abroad.

Now we have succeeded in locating the security company here in Abidjan ?
Cote d?Ivoire also cofirmed the items with most honest and confidentiality.Now
I am soliciting for your assistance to help me and my sister lift this money
out from Abidjan to your safe account abroad so that we should invest it
in any meaningful lucrative business in your country because this is our
only hope in life. I am willing to offer you 20% of the total fund if only
you can help me out of my predicament.

THE REASON WHY I CONTACTED YOU

I have made up my mind to invest this money in estate management and living
permanantly in your country. Transferring the moeny will not be much of
a problem as the bank can handle that. The problem I have and for which
I contacted you is to assist us in any way that will benefit both of us
to retirev the boxe containing the money from the SECURITY FINACE COMPANY
where my father deposited it. His death was sudden, of course, so no previous
arrangement was made by him to effect.

He only paid some money on the day he deposited the boxes. The money has
since expired and the boxes has accummulated some daily demmurage charges
that have to be paid before the boxes can be released to us. As
soon as this can be done, the content ( money) will then be paid into a
local bank here for onward transfer to your overseas designated bank account
you will provide. All relevant documents about the boxes
are with us. I believe the best way to go about it, if you will accept,
is to effect changes of the documents in your favour , so that you can come
to Abidjan Cote d?Ivoire as the rightful beneficiary of the deposited boxe.

Then you and I will go to the Security finace Company here, for proper identification
and claim the boxe and go straight to the bank and to deposit the money,
in your own name.Then you will leave instructions to the bank for the money
to be transferred to your country. Finally, arrange travel documents of
me and my sister to join you in your country for the investment of the same
and to continue our educations. Your intended visit will also afford me
an opportunity to realy know ourselves and discuss in fine detail on how
to invest the funds. It will also afford us an opportunity to know ourselves
better. I shall give you more details when I receive your urgent response.

I am awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we
can discuss the modalities of this transaction.

Thanks and God bless

Yours sincerely

Charls k./sister Nguessan.
