Subject: Hoping to hear from you
Dear sir,
You may be surprised to receive this unsolicited mail as it may appear to be. Sorry to bother you any way.
I am the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Ansar Awi ,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 20 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 United State Dollars.(USD$18,000,000.00) left in A
SECURITY COMPANY 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 22 years old and a 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 you rcountry,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.
All thatis needed is for me to instruct the company to transfer the
consignment(funds) to your country for onward investment, I will remunerate
you with 20% at the end, but most of all is that I solicit your trust inthis
transaction.
Kindly include your Full Name, Private Telephone and Fax Numbers where you can
always be reached, your Residential or Company Address to enable me send detail
information/documents that will enable you receive the fund without any problem
either now or in future as all modalities as been perfected.
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: email.anita_awi@sify.com
Best Regards
Anita .A. Awi
