Subject: From Miss Flora Coulibamy
Dear,
With due respect and humility I write you this proposal which I believe would be of great interest to you.
I am MISS FLORA and OLIVER COULIBALY. The children of late Mr.and Mrs JOHNSON COULIBALY. Our father was a very wealth cocoa merchant in Abidjan,the
economic capital of Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to death by his
business associates on one of their outings on a business trip.
Before the powerful Economic Community of West African States (ECOMOG) forces intervened which eventually resulted into a brutal civil war.
I and my junior brother managed to escape to Abidjan, the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire through the help of my father's friend who is a trawler. We came into Abidjan with some valuables including a cash sum of U$ 18 Million (EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS
ONLY) in ONE trunk box which I deposited with a private security company here in Abidjan - Cote d'Ivoire in my brother's name (Tony Coulibaly). For your information, we did not disclose the real content of the boxes to the security company and we do not wish them to know this under any
circumstances.
Rather, we deposited the box as containing family valuables. Meanwhile, we want to leave Cote d'Ivoire entirely with this money for investment in your country because of the stable political situation and mostly for the future of i and my brother. Right now I am seeking for a foreign partner who will assist me retrieve and serve as the guardian of this fund with whom I can plan the best way to move out this fund for investment purposes which is my
motive for contacting you. Moreover, you are requested to assist in the following areas:
That you will be required to negotiate on how best to transfer this fund without attracting much taxation.
That you will assist in providing me and my brother a permanent residence / Resident permit
in your country after this money has been transferred to your country. That you will be responsible in advising us to invest this fund a viable venture in your country.
That you will pay a short working visit (2 days) to meet with me and my brother face to face here in Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire to enable us establish a personal contact with you to ensure some amount of confidence between us. We have it in mind to reward you handsomely for your assistance.
We are prepared to give you 25% of the total sum, and 35% share in the total investment to be made. Do not hesitate to call my brother Tony on his line. 225 0622 3080...immediately you receive this
message so to enable us proceed in Ernest towards concluding this transaction.
Please ensure that no one else know about this money as it is only myself, my brother, your self and the EVANGELIST of the CHURCH where we worship who know about this money. May God bless you as you assist us.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Flora Coulibaly. 225 0622 3080.
