Dearest,
I hope this mail will fined you well, over there in your country.
I am the above named person,Joel Attah 21years old, from Ivory Coast the son of late Mr&Mrs Attah.It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the 20th october 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 the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2003 he called me who accompanied him to the hospital and told me that he has the sum of Twelve million,eight hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$12.800,000) compile in a metallic boxes and deposited with one of the security company here in Abidjan Ivroy coast West Africa.
He also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe Box.he decleared it as family treasure and used my name (Joel) to Deposit the Box as his only son for next of kin. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.
I want you to assist me in clearing this box from the security company and then transfering the fund inside the box into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose for me ok.
I am just 21 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 child?
2. Can i completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you? Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you so much as you read this mail comprehensively.
My sincere regards,
Joel Attah.
