Subject: HELLO
MY DEAR, IT IS MY PLEASURE TO WRITE TO YOU AFTER MY MUCH CONSIDERATION, I AM MRS SANDRINA SANOGO THE WIFE OF LATE MR EPHRAIM M. SANOGO FROM IVORY COAST IN REPUBLIC OF COTE D'IVOIRE. I AM 41 YEARS OLD. MY HUSBAND OWNS A COCOA PLANTATION AND WAS ALSO A GOLD DEALER IN MY COUNTRY. DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF UN FORCES (UNOCI) IN MY COUNTRY COTE D'IVOIRE SINCE 2004, ETHNIC CONFLICT HERE HAS DISPLACED MANY IVOIRIANS IN AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY AS WELL AS KILLING MIGRANTS FROM NEIGHBORING STATES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO OWNED COCOA PLANTATIONS; THE REBELS IN OUR COUNTRY HIDE ALONG THE BORDERS OF NEIGHBORING STATES. AS A RESULT OF THIS MY HUSBAND WAS KILLED ON HIS WAY TO HIS COCOA FARM BY THE REBELS. IT WAS MOST UNFORTUNATE TO ME FOR I LOST MY ONLY SON I HAD FOR MY HUSBAND WHO DIED AT THE AGE OF EIGHT(12)YEARS OLD. MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PREFECT PEACE. BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY LATE HUSBAND HE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF ($22,000,000) TWENTY-TWO MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS IN A PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY IN ABIDJAN. THE MONEY WAS MADE FROM HIS COCOA AND GOLD BUSINESS WHICH HE WANTED TO USE FOR OVERSEA INVESTMENT ESTABLISHMENT. NOW I AM SEEKING FOR A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON THAT WILL BE MY BUSINESS PARTNER AND HELP ME INVEST THIS MONEY ABROAD FOR AS A WODIW MY HUSBAND'S FAMILY HAS SEIZED ALL THAT HE HAD LEFT BEHIND AND HAS UNNECESSARY TURNED A THREAT TO ME. PLEASE THIS IS MY REASON FOR CONTACTING YOU TO PROTECT MY INTEREST AND SECURE THIS MONEY. HOWEVER, I HAVE LOCATED THE SECURITY COMPANY WHERE THIS MONEY WAS DEPOSITED BY MY LATE HUSBAND. I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL BE SINCERE ENOUGH TO REPRESENT MY LATE HUSBAND'S FOREIGN PARTNER AND ASSIST ME IN LIFTING THE CONSIGNMENT BECAUSE MY HUSBAND DEPOSITED IT IN FAVOUR OF HIS FOREIGN PARTNER AND AS FAMILY VALUABLES TREASURED. FOR THIS REASON THE SECURITY COMPANY DID NOT KNOW THE REAL CONTENT OF THE BOX. PLEASE MY DEAR, I AM SOLICITING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE TO HELP ME SO THAT I CAN TRANSFER THE MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR ONWARD INVESTMENT OF YOUR OWN CHOICE SINCE I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT INVESTMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY. AS A WIDOW THIS IS MY ONLY AND LAST HOPE. WE SHALL MUTUALLY AGREE ON YOUR PERCENTAGE INTEREST OR SHAREHOLDING FOR HELPING ME IN SECURING THE RELEASE OF THIS DEPOSIT AND IT'S INVESTMENT INTO A LUCRATIVE VENTURE OVER THERE IN YOUR COUNTRY AND IN YOUR CARE. UPON YOUR ACCEPTANCE TO SINCERELY ASSIST ME, I WILL FURNISH YOU WITH THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE DEPOSIT. I AM WAITING ANXIOUSLY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE SO THAT I CAN DISCUSS THE MODALITIES OF THIS TRANSACTION. YOURS SINCERELY,MS SANDRINA SANOGO
