From Mr Daniel Latif
Dearest in Christ ,
May the peace of the Lord Almighty be with you amen,I am Mr Daniel Latif,my mother is Mrs Katrine Latif married to Dr ABDUL LATIF AL-KAZEMI who was the CEO KAZEMI COCO INDUSTRY ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE before his untimely death in year 2002. my mother and late father were married for nineteen years with me as their only child,my beloved father died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days which came as a result of the attacks from the rebels and government of Cote D' Ivoire.Before his death, we were all born again Christians.
Since his death,my mother decided not to remarry or get a child outside her matrimonial home which the Bible is against.When my late father was alive he left the sum of $3 Million(three million U.S.Dollars) in a fixed deposite account with a bank here in Dakar Senegal.
Recently, my mothers Doctor told us that my mother would not last for the next Eight months due to the cancer illness she developed over these years now. Having known my mothers condition we decided to donate this fund out to someone that will utilize this money the way my mother wants being that she is the original next of kin/inheritor to my late father who is the depositor of the funds. I and my mother want you to assist us towards the release of this fund from the custody of the holding bank as my late fathers foreign business associate,then use part of this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained,secondly to bring me to your country were i will start a new life and continue my education,and thirdly for you to assist me in investing part of the money in any possible investment sector in your country for my future,this are my mothers dreams before she dies.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I and my mother took this decision because of me who happens to be her only child.i will inherit 25% from this money in cash which will be in a seperate bank account in your country pending my arrival to join you,35% will be for any possible investment in your country on my behalf,15% will be for your conpensation,why 25% will be for helping out ophanages and assisting the house of God.You will help me to secure a good education in your country & accomodation.For the sake of God and my sick mother i will like you to take me as your son and be a guidian to my future .
My Late fathers relatives are evil and not Christians and I dont want my late fathers efforts to be used by unbelievers,i dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I and my mother took this decision to contact you knowing that with your assistance things will work out for me and my future again even if my mother dies now.
As soon as I receive your reply I will give you the contact of the bank for you to contact them
immediately on my behalf. I want you and your family to always pray for me and my mother because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I and my mother lived a life of a worthy Christian even if she dies today.
Please i want you to indicate your willingness towards assisting me and my mother because Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply soon. kindly send your response to my letter at my confidential email address( daniellatif@hotmail.com <mailto:daniellatif@hotmail.com>)

Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
