Subject: Dearest One,

Dearest One,

How are you and every members of your family,I hope fine it is a Good thing
to write 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. Your profile
pushed me to send you this mail, I am Joy Makary i am 24 YRS OLD,
the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.David Makary.My father was
a highly reputable business magnet (a cocoa merchant) who operated through
out West Africa during his days.

It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of
his business trips broad.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 24 years old,
and since then my father never hide anything from me.

Before he made the trip to france that lead to my misfortune(his death)He
called me,explained to me the reason why he will make the trip...and

also told me that he has the sum of Two million Five hundred thousand
United State Dollars.(USD$2.500,000)deposited in one of the security company's
here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa, which he disguised and
declared the box to contain family valuables instead of money,by this way
the
company does not know the true content of the box.

The deposit document which I have in my possession carries my late
father's name as the depositor, while I'm the next of kin on the same
_document_._ I am just a student 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 ?
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 Kindly consider this and get back to me as possible if you wish
to help, please i am sincerely in need of your urgent attention.
Thanks.
SincerlyYours,
Joy Makary.
