Dearest One
May the peace of gracious God be with you and your family,Please i have
a problem and needs your help, i have decided that it is good thing to write
you for help. 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 am in a state of delinma and your profile pushed me to send you this mail,
I am Fatou Ahmed, 23 years old and the only daughter of my late parents
Mr.and Mrs. Ahmed. 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 on 12th.Febuary 2003. 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 thetruth!
My mother died when I was 4 years old, and since then my father took me
so special. Before his death on February 12 2003 he called the secretary
who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of
twelve million, seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$12700,000)
left in one of the leading (BANK)here in Abidjan.
He further told him that he deposited the money in my name, and finally
issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession
of all the necessary legal documents to this fund in( BANK.)
I am 23 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what
to do. This is because i have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of
incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life, 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 questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
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,
Fatou Ahmed.
