Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
DEAR,
I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.VICNENT KWAME
My father was a highly reputable business man who operated in
the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he
passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips
abroad on the 12th September 2004. 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 22 yrs old, and since then my father took me so
special.
Before his death on September 2004, he called me and informed me that
he has the sum of EIGTHEN Million, Seven Hundred thousand United State
Dollars.(USD$18,7,000.00)left in A SECURITY COMPANY here in GHANA. He
further told me that he deposited the money in my name, and also gave
me all the necessary documents to this fund between him and the
security company where he made the deposit.
I am just 29 years old and an university undergraduate and really
don't know what to do.Now I need your assistance so that we can get
this fund out from the security company and transfer it into your
account permanently in your country till a time that it will be
convinient for me to
come to your country,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 and I also
want to invest the fund under your care because I am ignorant of
business world. 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 from your heart?
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 costody?
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Immedaitely I confirm your willingness, I will send to you all inform
you more details involved in this matter.via:je_u@z6.com
Kind Regards,
JESSICA KWAME
