Subject: VERY CONFIDENTIAL
MY dear,
I have just decided to write to you . And I do not intend to discolse this matter to any other person for safety reason. So I want your positive response.
I am Mrs. Veronica Richard. Nguessan the wife of late Mr. Richard Nguessan from the Takwarade province in the Republic of Ghana, West Africa.
I am writing to seek for your confidential assistance to transfer the sum of US $9.000.000.00 Nine million dollars in your name to your country, where I wish to relocate.
My late husband was a potential Cocoa and agricultural produce merchant based in South-Africa. He was always travelling between Pretoria and Ivory Coast for his business. on 15th of August, 2002 a week after he came back from Abidjan in one of his business trips, he was killed with my first son by unknown assassins.
My husband while still in the hospital, after all hope of reviving him failed, disclosed to me that he deposited the sum of USD$9,000,000.00 (Nine Million United States Dollars) in a fixed deposit with a commercial bank in Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire that the money was meant for his business he wanted to invest in Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire. That his business friend who knew about the deposited money planned for his death.
According to my husband he told me to take care of the money for the sake of his family and business. He instructed me to seek for a foreign business investment partner abroad where we can relocate because of the fear of what his business friends can do to us here .
As a result of this we cannot stay in our country again .I have succeeded in re-locating to Abidjan and I have confirmed the existence of the fund in the bank here in Abidjan -Cote d'Ivoire with the deposit documents he gave to me before his death.
With utmost confidence, and because of the unstable political problem in this country now, coupled with the election coming on in the country this year, every foreigner is afraid of the insecurity in the country so I am soliciting your assistance to send to me your bank account particulars where this money will be transferred to as my late husband's foreign business partner for joint investment in your business in your country, as this money is now our only hope .
Immediately this money gets to your country, I am willing to give you 15% as your commission for assisting me. Please kindly contact me on the above email address immediately for more details.
Thank you and God bless.
Best regards,
Veronica R. Nguessan
