Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?HUMBLE=20HELP=20REQUEST?=
From: Kojo Nnanna
Cotonou-Benin Republics, West Africa.
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you. I got your contact from a computerize data following my effort
searching for a trustworthy person to assist me.
I am Kojo Nnanna, the only children of my late parent Mr. and Mrs. Nnnana.
My father was a highly reputable business magnet (a cocoa merchant) in Abidjan
capital of Cote d'Ivoire who operated in the West Africa coast/route during
his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in Cotonou - Republic
of Benin during one of his business trips abroad on 12th, February 2003.
Though, his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded
by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time in collaboration
with his business associates. But God knows the truth! My mother died when
I was still kid, and since then my father took me so special.
He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of Seventeen
Million United States Dollars (USD$17M) only deposited in a bank here on
his name.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge
amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the
deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates aided by his
uncle, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country
of my choice who can assist me in claiming this fund from the bank for me
for investment purposes and use it for investment purpose, (such as real
estate management).
But, because of the way my father makes the deposit that his associate will
provide an account where the money will be transferred to that was why I
contacted you so that you can stand on behalf of my late father associate
in whose account the money will be transferred to. I want to transfer the
money out of the country as we don't know what might happen next.
I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following way.
(1) To act as the foreign partner of my late father by claiming this fund
from the bank for further transfer and investment to your designated bank
account abroad.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the sum as compensation for effort
input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designated account
in your country overseas.
Anticipating to hearing from you soon.
Thanks and God Bless.
Kojo Nnanna
