Dear Sir,
I know you will be surprised to read from me,but please consider this letter
as a request from a family in dare need of assistance.
I got your address in my deliberate search for an
assistance from a foreign partner who will sincerely
andjudiciousely manage the funds and confidence i am due to entrust on you.
First, I must introduce myself, I am Mrs. Danla Chile
fromCote D'ivoire. I am the wife of late Brigadier Badou Chile,husband was a
Brigadier incharge of arms ammunitions procurement in the Cote D'ivoire
army. In his "Will",he specifically drew my attention to
US$40,000,000.00(fourtyMillion united states dollars which he deposited in a
safe vault of a private Security Company in Europe, as a
treasure boxes, fully documented in our first son's
name(master.Kenneth Chile).
IN FACT MY HUSBAND SAID AND I QUOTE: "My beloved son, Iwish
to draw your attention to US$40 million(fourty Million
United States Dollars). I deposited the boxes containing
the fund in a private Security Company in Europe.
Before the coupd'etat that took place in
our country,I was very dedicated and committed to be
promoted to the post of personal assistance to the
president until when I found out that senior army officers
and top government functionaries were busy helping
themselves with government funds and properties and sending
them to foreign countries".Due to this when I was assigned
by the President(President Henry Konan BEDIE) to purchase
arms from South Africa, I saw this as a golden opportunity
and diverted the fund for my personal personal use.
In case of my absence by act of God or result of death
only, you should solicit for the delivery of the funds to
you and ensure they are invested in an economy where there
is political, social and economic stability abroad.
Dear sir, from the above, you will understand that the
lives and future of my family depends on this fund and it
will be my utmot desire to fulfil the desire and aspiration
of my lovely husband, as such I will be grateful if you can
assist my son who is in Red Cross senior refugee camp
herewith me in lome Togo Republic for now as an asylum
seeker.
due to unstable economic and political situation in ourCountry and africa at
large i can not invest this funds inAfrica,hence my contact to you, am
prepared to offer you20% of the total fund as compensation to enable
youfacilitate the movement of this fund to your country,investment and
judious management of the funds for andunbehalf of my family and my son,
while 80% will be for my son and familyconsequent upon delivery of the
consignment iand my son
will come over to your country where we shall start up anewlife with
security and safety.
Finally, modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you
once we have established trust and confidence between our selves, then i
will recommend you to the security companmy in Europe as to enable you visit
themfor the delivery of theconsignment/funds to you.
Please treat this matter as very urgent.
I await your urgent response.
