REQUEST FOR INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into relationship with you. I know this email may come to you as a surprise, since we have not known or writen before.
Our mother died long ago when she was about to deliver my most junior sister Joy , she is 18 years old as of today, based that we lost our mother so early our father took us so special, we are only from my mother's side, I and the one girl.
Introducing myself, I am Jean Kouam 20 , years of age the only son of the late Chief and Mrs Robbia Kouam, my father was a gold and cocoa merchant based in Accra, Ghana and Abidjan (Ivory Coast) he was Killed to death by his business associates on one of their business trips.
Before the death of my father on the 14th February 2003 in a private hospital here in Abidjan.
He secretly called me on his bed and told me that he has a sum of
(USD$18.5M ) deposited in a security company here in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire, that he used my name as his beloved son for the next of kin in depositing the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as as expansion of his existing cocoa business and real estate management overseas.
Meanwhile, my late father told me that the security company does not know the real content in th box, they believed it was an Art craft of family treasures and important documents of his estate as it was formerly deposited by my late father.
As of now, the consignment has left Abidjan due to the problem of unstable government and also the un agreement long ahead between the newly head of state his excellency president LAURANT GBAGBO and his oposition ALHAJI DARAMAN WATARA over the resent rebels attack in the country.
So for that reason,I ordered the security company here to transfer it to there
representative stourage house in CANADA.
But for the amain time, the consignment si still here in Abidjan and have not left to Canada yet.
But if you signify willingness to assist us, I will inform the security company diplomate to deliver it in your country door step within one week working days of the week starting from this moment.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 10% of the total sum as compersation for your effort and input after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account overseas, I will be waiting to hearing from you as soon as this email gets to you in good health.
Best Regards.
