Assistance Project,
Dear ,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you.
I got your contact from a search for a trustworthy person who can help me
safe guide this money knowing fully well that my life and future solely
depends on this money.
I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its
esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable 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 Stella Makasin, the only daughter of late Mr. Machael Makasin Kijani
father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan , the economic
capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business
associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business. While my mother
died on the 21st October 1989, my father took me so special because I am
motherless.
Before the death of my father on 7th November 2002 in a private hospital
here in Abidjan . he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he
has a sum of us$12,000,000 (twelve million united states dollars) left in a
suspense account in a local bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as
his only daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates.
That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I
will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real
estate management).
I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways,
1) To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred to,
2) To serve as the guardian of this fund since I am 22 years old,
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the money
has been transferred.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for
your effort/input after the successful transfer of this fund to your
nominated account overseas.
Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me signify
interest to assist me.
I am waiting to hear from you soon.
Thanks and God bless.
Yours sincerely
Stella Makasin.
