Dear my name is Joseph quattara, I got your name and contact from the Ivoirian chamber of commerce and industry. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable, God fearing and trustworthy person I can do business with and by their recommendations I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
I am the only child of late Mr and Mrs Sanogo Quattara. my father was a very wealthy cocoa Merchant based in Bouake, the Economic capital of ivory coast before he was poisoned by his business associate while on a Business trip to Abidjan. When my mother died on the 21st October 1989, my father took me so special because I am motherless and before the death of my father in a private hospital in Abidjan where he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of USD$21,500,000 (Twenty One million, Five hundred thousand, united states dollars) left in 2 metallic trunk boxes in a security company here in Abidjan, that he used one of his foreign business partner as the Next of Kin in deposit of the consignment for security reasons.
This money according to my father was given to him in confidence by late General Robert Guei the former military head of state of my country who was murdered on the 9th September 2001.He also explained to me that it was because of this money that he was poisoned by his enemies who was envious about his rising political profile because he was been tip to succeed the then military head of state and that I should seek for a foreign partner who can lay claim of this consignment as his business partner in any country of my choice and use it for investment purpose. I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.
1) To come and make claim of this consignment 2) To present your safe as my late farther foreign business partner because recently the security company published an advert threatening to auction all items in its custody if the owners fail to come forward to collect them in 21days time. .3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the consignment has been released to you. Moreover, I am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful claiming of this consignments.
Lastly; if you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within seven (7) days you signify interest to assist me. Expecting to hearing from you on this private mailbox: joseph_quattara@yahoo.com
Thanks
- Joseph Quattara
