FROM CHARLES ANTHONY
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE

Dear One,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
relationship with you. We got your contact from a computerize data following
my effort searching for a trust worthy person to assist us.

I am CHARLES ANTHONY the son of late Mr and Mrs MIKE ANTHONY and my sister
LILIAN . Our father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant 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 deal.

When our mother died ,our father took me and my junior sister special because
we are motherless. Before the death of our father on 30th June 2004 in a
private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called us on his bedside and
told us that he has a sum of $11,500.000 (ELEVEN Million Five Hundred united
states dollar) deposited in a Bank in Amsterdam - Holland on his name. He
also explained to us that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount
of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the deal they
had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that we should seek
for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of our choice who can come
down and claim this fund from the bank for us for investment purposes and
use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management).

We are honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.

1) To act as the foreign partner of our father by claiming
this fund from the bank for further transfer and investment
to your designated bank account abroad.

2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am a young man
of 25 years and my younger sister just 22years.

Moreover , we are willing to offer you 15% of the sum as
compensation for effort input after the successful transfer
of this fund to your designated account in your country .

Anticipating to hear from you soon.or you can email me with
this (charles0anthony2@yahoo.com)

Thanks and God Bless.

Best regards
CHARLES AND LILIAN
