Subject: From jennifer Alice Kossa
Dearest one,
Greetings!
I am Miss jennifer Alice Kossa.the only daughter of
late Mr. And Mrs.Smith Kossa. My father was a very
wealth cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital
of Ivory Coast, my father died during the political
war crisis that going on in my country here in ivory
coast(cote d'ivoire)My mother died when I was a baby
when she was about to delivers a new baby and since
then my father took me so special. Before the death of
my father on november 2002 in a private hospital
herein Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side
and told me that he has the sum of Eight Million,Five
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars. USD($8.500,000)
left in one of the private security/finances trust
services house here in Abidjan Ivory Coast ,as a
family treasures that he used my names her only
daughter for the next of kin in depositing of the
fund. He also explained to me that he might not
survive the situation he was at that present.
However 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 real estate
management or hotel management.
Sir,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance
in this regards again.Your suggestions and ideas will
be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
(1)Can you help me for the retrievements of this fund
on my behalf in the security custody here to your end?
(3)Can you make an arrangement for me to come over to
your country to further my Education and to secure a
resident permit in your country?
(4) Can you honestly take me as your own and help me?
(5) Can I completely trust you?
(6) 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 that i can forward the documents to you
after we have agreed on the conditions for your
assistance. My life is not safe here and i need to be
out of here as soon as possible because now that my
father is dead and with me only as a female child,
firstly the political war crisis are still going on
here in my country and secondly my uncles are seeking
to kill me so that they can have all my fathers
properties. i really don't want to struggle anything
with them in terms of properties but my presence will
still be disturbing them. thank God they are not aware
of this fund in the company here hence, I want to
leave here as soon as you help me to have the
consignment cleared from the security company here and
lodge it into a safe account in your stable country
and then send me some amount to enable me prepare to
meet you. without your help, i will find it difficult
to travel and clear it myself alone with my little or
no experience.
I am waiting for your urgent reply with your contact
phone number so that i can give you the contact of the
security for you to contact them as if you are my
guardians. and in due course I will provides you the
secret code for opening the consignment when you are
ready to come on my behalf.
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Miss jennifer Alice Kossa
