Subject: From Miss Success Asiedu
Abidjan-Ivory Coast.
Greetings and Compliment of the season,
How are you today, I hope all is fine. Please permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is Miss Success Asiedu, I am 19 years of age and I just finished with my senior secondary school waiting for my results so that I could go to a university abroad to continue with my education, when the
crisis started in my country which later ended up in a war.
During this terrible period, a lot of innocent people were killed by the rebels, houses were burned and most people had to leave their homes to find a safer place when the situation was getting hotter, my father brought me here Abidjan-Ivory Coast to stay with his old time friend who is a palm
wine trapper, so that he could go back to democratic republic of Congo my country to finish up with his transactions because he is a major exporter of cocoa and rubber in my country, then after which we will travel abroad. One day, I was with the farmer in his house watching the African news when
suddenly I heard my father's name mentioned, his name was announced as among the four people that were
shot by the rebels on the town of Goma, the eastern part of Congo.
I could not believe it, it was like a dream not until he was shown on the screen of the television it was shocking to me, because my father was the only person I had, I cried and cried but the farmer consoled me.
The next day the farmer called me and told me that even if my father is dead, he has left a good inheritance for me, so he went to his room and brought out a brown envelop that was sealed, I opened it and found a letter and some documents, going through the letter and the documents, I found out
that my late father deposited one (1) trunk box containing Fifteen Million United States Dollars in the trunk box which was deposited in a private security company here in Abidjan-Ivory Coast.
When I read the documents, I find out that my father left instruction that I should not go to the security company alone unless I seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice who will help me and make the claim on my behalf, and use it for investment purposes, such as real
estate management etc. I am honourable seeking your assistance in the following way, to act as my foreign partner so that the trunk box can be claimed from the security company and transferred to your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort input after the successful claim of this trunk box to your country.
Please get back to me as soon as you receive this letter.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
Miss Success Asiedu
