Dearest One,
Compliment Greetings With warm heart I offer my friendship,and I hope this letter will meets you in good Faith.However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. I duly apologise for infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity.
I am Tina Austine, 22years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Austine Edward. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2002. My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on 12 Febuary 2002,he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Nine Million,Five hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$9.500,000) deposited in one of the security company in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire as a family treasure that the security company did not know the containts of the box is money.
He further told him that he deposited the box in his name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this box and the company.
I am just 22 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where this fund can be transfered .
This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. For security purposes,this is my alternative e-mail (austinetina22@yahoo.com )
Your telephone and fax number will be need for easy communication.
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Miss.Tina Asutine Edward.
