Subject: Compliments of the day.
From:William Dossou
Accra-Ghana.
E-mail address;(w_dossou02@yahoo.com)
Good day and how are you today? I hope fine? ,Permit me to inform you of my desire
of asking you to be a guardian or foster parent to me and then help me out in what
i am about to tell you. I'm William Dossou (23years old) from Cote d'Ivoire, and
the only child of Late Mr. & Mrs. John Dossou. My father was a very wealthy cocoa
merchant here in Cote d'Ivoire.
He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a
business trip. My mother died when i was a baby. Before the death of my father on
Sept. 2005 in a private hospital there in Cote d'Ivoire, he secretly called me by
his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Eight million two hundred thousand
United States Dollars USD ($8.200,000) deposited in a suspense account in one
bank in Ghana. He told me that he used my name (William Dossou) as the next of
Kin to deposit the money.
He then strongly advised me NOT to seek for assistance in the investment of the
money from his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a foreign partner
from any country of my choice (outside my country,Cote d'Ivoire ) that will assist
me in the wise investment of the money.I have since left the money in the bank
with the view of making use of it for investment purposes after my educational
carrier.
But as you may be already aware by now, my country (Cote d'Ivoire ) is presently
at war caused by political crises. Rebels have already taken over the whole
Northern part of the country and making efforts towards the capture of the
commercial center of the country(Cote d'Ivoire),I am presently in Ghana,where the
money was deposited my late father and finally decided to take quick actions and
have this money transferred out of the country Ghana that is why i need your
urgent assistance to transfer it out of the country and I will use it for
investment purpose like real estate management or hotel management Because of this
i am honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To be my guardian and then assist me financialy to transfer the money into
your bank account.
(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and then settle there parmanently. I am willing to offer you, 20 % of
the total money as compensation for your assistance.
Please let me know if you feel the percentage i offered is not ok by you.As soon
as i recieve your full assurance and corporation,I will then give you the bank
contact information and then tell them to transfer the money into your account as
i want to come over to stay with you parmanently. You shall then be giving me
information on when the transfer will be over. I shall also send my picture to you
and shall also need yours too. No matter what your decision may turn out to be,
please i beg you to reply to my strictly on my private email address:
(w_dossou02@yahoo.com ).
Thanks and God bless you.
Regards, William Dossou.
