Subject: Dear friend,
Dear friend,
I am well confident of your capability to assist me in
a transaction for mutual benefit of both parties, ie
(me and you) I am also believing that you will not
expose or betray the trust and confidence I am about
to establish with you. I have decided to contact you
with greatest delight and personal respect.
Well, I am Stephan Toure son to Chief Andrew Toure
late former Director of finance,Chief Andrew Toure
Sierra-Leone diamond and mining corporation.
Few days before the death of my father, he confided
in me and ordered me to go to his underground safe and
move out immediately, with a Deposit Agreement and
Cash Receipt he made with a security Company in
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire where he deposited One Iron Box
containing USD$ 7 million
dollars cash (SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS). This money
was made from the sell of Gold and Diamond by my father
and he have already decided to use this money for
future investment of the family.
Thereafter, I rushed down to Abidjan with these two
documents and confirmed the deposit of the consignment by my
father. Also, I have been granted political stay as a
Refugee by the Government of Cote d'Ivoire. Meanwhile,
my father have instructed me to look for a trusted
foreigner who can assist me to move out this money
from Cote d'Ivoire immediately for investment.
Based on this , I solicit for your assistance to
put up claims for this consignment to be released to you as my late
fathers
foreign partner as stated in the agreement that only my late father
foreign
partner has the right for claims of this consignment , but I willdemand
for
the following requirement:
(1) Could you provide for me a safe Bank Account where
this fund will be deposited in your country or
another nearby country where taxation will not take
great toll on the money ?
(2) Could you be able to introduce me to a profitable
business venture that would not require much technical
expertise in your country where part of this fund will
be invested ?
Please, all these requirements are urgently needed as
it will enable me to establish a stronger business
relationship with you hence I will like you to be the
general overseer of the investment thereafter.
I am a Christian and I will please, want you to handle
this transaction based on the trust I have established
on you.
For your assistance in this transaction, I have
decided to offer you 15% percent commission of the
total amount at the end of this business.The security
of this business is very important to me and as such,I
would like you to keep this business very
confidential.If you are willing to assist me Please
kindly reply me immediately.
I shall expect your urgent response.
please do get back to me via Email Address for
security reason.
thanks.
Regards,
Stephan Toure
