Subject: Investment Proposal
Dear Sir,
Permit me to inform you my mind, I have make up my mind to write to you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. I will like to pray a short prayer before proceeding into de
tails. May the Lord in haven who knows each an every one of us be with us, I pray for his mutual understanding and his infinite mercy be upon us and grant us favour for a great future
Amen.
I am Patrick Williams, 19 years old and the only son of my late parents Mr and Mrs Williams. My father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad February 2001. though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. Bu
t God knows the truth.
My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12/2001 he called the secretary who accompanied him to hospital and told him to call me, on my arrival to the hospital my father told m
e that he has the sum of twenty eight million five hundred thousand US Dollars. (28 500,000 USD) which he deposited in a Security firm here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire West Africa, he instructed
me to seek for a reliable foreign partner who will assist me to invest this money overseas. He further told me that he deposited the money in his name, and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necess
ary but legal document to all his properties.
I am just 19 years old and a University undergraduate and really don?t know what to do. Now I want you to assist me to move this money overseas where it will be invest into a lucrative business. This is because I have suffered a lot of set back as a resu
lt of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life .
Sir, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few question:
1.Can you honestly help me as your son?
2.Can I completely trust you?
3.what percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Patrick Williams
