This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met,but it shouldn't,since we are determined to get what rightly belongs to us anyhow,but soon when everything goes according to plan.The message could be strange but reality will definitely dawn on you, if you pay some attention to it's content. I wouldn't have notified you but for the sake of your integrity and goodwill.Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any personal pains or discomfort.My name is (chantale kouassi) ,22 years of age,living in the company of my junior brother (David kouassi) a native of Dabou in Cote D'ivoire. Our father before his death was a gold merchant and cocoa merchant before his death.
Also our father was also one of the casualties of the invasion of the rebels,after their emergence in the capital city,in some parts of the country. Since the killing of our father by the rebels life had been miserable,and we had been living in Abidjan,the capital city of ivory coast.The most passionate of all , is the existence of the rebels here in this country since 19th september 2002.
Our mother died when I was just 12 years old,and since then my father took me so special and before his death on May 25 2005 he called me on his bed side at the hospital and told me that he has the sum of Two Millions,Five hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$2.500,000) left in a mettalic trunk box being registered as family valuables in one of the prime security company here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.He also told me that he used my name (Miss Chantale kouassi) as the next of kin in depositing the trunk box containing the funds and also handed over the depository documents to me.
I am just 22 years old and a high school drop out and really don`t know what to do. This is because We have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis in Abidjan.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to our life. During my escape,i manage on to get on in my possesion the vital documents,that relate to the consignment,and i have even called on the company for confirmation.
We are in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit us to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help us as your son/daughter/.
2. Can we completely trust you?
3. We have decided to offer you 20% of the total sum and 5% for expenses that you might incurre in the course of this transaction.
4. How can you assist us also in moving away from this place.Please get back to me on my personal email address. (k.chantale3@yahoo.ca <mailto:k.chantale3@yahoo.ca>)
Please,Consider this and get back to us as soon as possible.
