Subject: Plz, Reply Me Urgently My Dear!!!
My Dearest One,
I'm sending you special greeting which I hope you will accept with warm
heart and I know this mail may get to you as a surprise since we have no
previous correspondence,
I decided to write you after going through your profile and my mind
accepted what I read about you thus, if you don't mind I will like to
know you better. I am Miss Mariam Gijado from Ivory Coast.
I tragically lost my father a couple of month ago in the wakes of the
Ivory Coast political upsurge .My father was a serving director of the
Cocoa exporting board until his death.
He was assassinated last January by the rebels on his way from office. I
have lost my mother two years before the tragic death of my father and
being the only daughter I am virtually alone which has made me very
vulnerable to danger.
A week before his untimely death, not knowing that he is going to died,
he had summon me to his office and made a revelation to me concerning
the deposit he had made with one security company in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates, he then gave to me the documents he used to deposit the
consignment with the security company here.
The fund exactly $8.3 million US dollar has been carefully concealed in
a trunk box and registered as family valuables and treasure by our father so that nobody
may know the real content of the box. All the documents with which the
money was deposited are with me;
but the situation of things and the present political impasse is the
reason why I have decided to scout for a neutral person in recuperating
the consignment from the security company.
Therefore we want you to assist me and help contact the company where
the money was deposited. I want you to do me a favour to receive this
box safe in your country or any safer place as the beneficiary.
My future plans is to leave this country where I am every day in danger
from my father's enemies and with your assistance I can successfully
recuperate this money and join you in your country where I can with your
advice plan on a worthwhile And lucrativeinvestment for my future well
being.
However, permit me to ask the following question:
Can you handle this project?
Can I completely count on you?
Can you take me as one of your own?
What shall be your commission for assisting me?
Awaiting your urgent reply .And please for security purpose you can
direct your subsequent mail to my private mail address as given below.

Thanks and best regards.
Miss Mariam Gijado,
