Dear Sir,

URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into
Personal and business relationship with you. I got
your contact through Chamber of Commence here in
Abidjan Ivory Coast. I prayed over it and selected
your name among other names due to its esteeming
nature. I must not hesitate to confide in you for this
simple and sincere business.
My name is Mr. NELSON JACK from rep. of Liberia in
west Africa. I am the son of Commandant VINCENT JACK
one of the military commanders to President Charles
Taylor now in exile. My father died in Monrovia few
weeks ago in the civil war that is presently going on
in Liberia. My father MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT
PEACE. As a close associate to Mr. Taylor, they made
some money through sales of diamond in which my late
fathers deposited his own portion ($167,700,000)
into one of the Bank here called (BICICI BANK)
in a near by country in, Abidjan, Cote d' Ivoire
Ivory Coast where I am presently living with my Mother
now. But before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew
he was going to die. He handed me and my Mother the
document covering the deposit and instructed me and my
mother to seek for a reliable and trust worthy
business partner for life time investment abroad. We
are now in Abidjan Cote d?Ivoire. Were my late father
deposited the money. Now we have succeeded in locating
the Bank here in Abidjan -Cote d?lvoire and we have
concluded with the Bank the modalities of transferring
the fund to an account abroad. Now I am soliciting
for your assistance to help me provide an account
facility where l can transfer the money into. So that
we can invest it in any lucrative business in your
country because this is our only hope in our life. I
and my mother have promise to gratify you with 15% of
the total sum for your kind assistance. Awaiting
anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the
modalities of this transaction. Please kindly contact
me through the above telephone or email address
immediately for more discussion.
Thanks for your kind attention. May the almighty God
be with you.
Sincerely yours,
Mr NELSON JACK
