Subject: Good Day
Dear Sir,
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you, however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am Rita Ibe,24years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Ibe. My father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a 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 year 12th.Febuary 2002. My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2002 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of four million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$4.700,000) deposited in one of the security company in Togo as a family treasure that the security company did not know the containts of the box is money.
He further told him that he deposited the box in his name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this box and the company. I am just 24 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where this fund can be transfered . 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. 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 as your daughter?
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.
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Miss Rita Ibe.
