Dearest,
I know this will come to you as a surprise but let me introduce myself first, my name is HENRI DIALLO, from cote d’Ivoire in west Africa. I have business deal that I wanted to discuss with you based on the fact that I got your e-mail on the internet while I was looking for a foreigner who is capable & honest to handle this matter to collaborate with me for our mutual benefit. Now permit me to explain what the deal is all about:
I am a cleaner in one of the international hotel here in my country, while cleaning the rooms of one of our guest (Mr CHARLIE DANIEL,a US Army) who normally discussed with me each time I came to his room for cleaning he made me to understand that he has a container of 200kg of Gold Dust & 100kg of Diamonds which he recovered from Iraqi’s war. Based that he did not want to take the container of these stuff to American to avoid any question from American authority meanwhile he supposed to be at the war field in Iraq. When he discovered the container of these stuff whereby he decided to fly out of Iraq to Africa & deposited it with one storage company here in cote d’Ivoire West Africa for safe-keeping & left back to Iraq to finish his assignment while he was killed in the war field.
For the past 2 years now I heard nothing from him, Now that I have the documents related to these stuff issued to Mr DANIEL by the storage company which is main reason of contacting you for us to make this deal so that you can act as the next of kin, If you want me to send you the prove deposit certificate in Mr DANIEL name, I will not hesitate to send it to you immediately by sending me your full name, address with telephone which I will used to do an Affidavit of Claim from the Ministry Of Justice here in my country to enable the storage company released the container to you as the next of kin so that I will organised a diplomats who will transport the container directly to your door-step for you to find a means to sell the Gold & the Diamonds in this container.
Immediately after the succession transportation of the container to you in your country, you will sell these stuff & after the sales I will send you my own account information’s where you will send me 60% of the total sales of these stuff while 40% will be yours. Due to the political situation here in my country this transaction will not last more than one week from the day I get your information’s, be rest assured that this deal is pure 100% risk-free, nobody knows anything about this deal for the past 2 years. Develop your interest by sending me all the information’s requested. This is my last opportunity to make something out of life.
Best Regards
YOUR's
