Subject: FROM JAMES BENSON.
Dearest One.
Good thing to write you I have a proposal for you, i
intend to establish with you and in your country which however is not mandatory
nor will in any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am james benson,a 22years old boy the only son of my
late parents Mr and Mrs Jery benson . My father was a highly reputable
busnness man (Gold dust and cocoa merchant)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.April 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 4 years old,and since then my father took me so
special. Before his death on April 12th 2004, he
called the secretary who accompanied him to the
hospital and told him that he have the sum of
Two million, five hundred thousand United State
Dollars.(USD$2.5 M.) left it in fixed suspence
accounte hear in one of the leading banks in Abidjan Cote d'Ivore west
Africa. He further told him that he deposited the money in his name,and
finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer who he said is in possession
of all the necessary and legal documents concerning the fund.
I am just 22, years old and a highier school college
boy, and really don't know what to do. Having confided in my fathers lawyer
of my intention to leave Africa entirely, I am in a desperate need of a
foreign partner who can help me to transfer this fund out of here to his
country into his bank account, so that you can start looking for Business
which we can invest this money on, considering the current crisis in this
country,
which I fear might turn to a civil war. Furthermore, I have suffered a lot
of set backs as a result of the incessant political crisis here in Ivory
coast, and the death of my father concluded my resolve to leave Africa.
Dear, Sir, I am in a sincere desire of your humble
assistance on this regard, and your suggestions and
ideas will be highly appreciated.
Now permit me to ask these few questions.
1. Can you honestly help me as your son?
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 account.
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible so i give you the full informations that will be needed and i want
you to know that you are the first person i have contacted for this my assistance.
Thank you so much and God bless you abundantly.Yours
sincerely
Mr james benson.
