PLEASE,
Permit me to inform you of my mind, Because I have make up my mind to write to you this way. however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am Tosaro Douglas, 22 years old and the only
son of my late parents Mr and Mrs DOUGLAS.
My late father was a highly reputable business merchant in a cocoa who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days.
Unfortunately I lost him mysteriously died in France during one of his business trips abroad last year octomber 2004. 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. But God knows the truth.
My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since
then my late father took me so special. Before his death on Octomber 9th/2004 he called the secretary who accompanied him in hospital and told him to call me,
on my arrival to the hospital my father told me that
he deposited the sum of six million US Dollars.
(6 000,000 USD) left in suspense account in one of the leading bank in Africa.
He further told me that he deposited the money in his
name,and I as the next of kin and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary legal document to all his properties.
I am just 22 years old and a University undergraduate
and really don’t know what to do. Now I want an
account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This
is because I have suffered a lot of set back as a
result of family enemity and incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
Please, 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 new family?
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 through my
personal mailbox at:(douglastosaro01@yahoo.fr)OR
Urgent call in my Hotel room 225 0590 2958
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
