Dear Friend
This letter may come as a surprise to you, but from a sincere mind with honest desire for assistance to establish mutual business relationship with you. I got to know your contact from the economic,entertainment and trade agency in texas, when i am seeking for a honest, trust worthy and God fearing individual who might assist me in implementing investment instructions as left for me by my late father Mr Peter Sankoma of blessed memory.
In brief introduction, I am the first son of Mr Peter Sankoma. He was the Chairman of oil spilt coperation.In the short lived Government of new Orleans where he also served as the director of the P and O Oil in New Orleans on the 18h of may 2005,my father was diagnosed canser of the blood and was admitted in the general hopital new Orleans.this gave me a great concern because i am motherless.I have been with my father in the hospital praying for miracle.I never new the worst will happened not untill the storm of hurrican turn my life apart.
I was with my father in the hospital during the storm.When the hurrican is geting out of hand,my father advises me to leave to my country abidjan,Cote d ivoire,i could not because i can not leave my father behind.I never new it will come to this extened.During the disturbance of the hurrican my father died in the genaral hospital. All our properties has been distroyed by the strong wind of the hurrican. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events of Katrina Hurrican in New Orleans,U.S.A.
However, during the disturbances and prior to my father death, he gave me a certificate meant for a secret deposit he made in a security company in Abidjan. The deposit is worth Twenty One Million Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($21,700,000) in cash, concealed and securely locked in one trunk box. The box was placed under privilege deposit and declared as containing Gold and precious stones. Non of the security company officials is aware of the real content of the box. According to my father, part of the money was paid to the corporation by it overseas customer .My father made the deposit and instructed the security company that his foreign partner will come for the claim after five years.
On the strengh of the above we were rescured to Texas, where I reside under refugee status for two weeks, Presently i am in Abidjan and have contacted the security company to confirm the deposit and establish ownership as (next of kin). But I was advised that I should come with my father?s foreign partner before they release the box to me.Right now, I need your assistance urgently in moving this fund to your country State to start a new life, when the fund is properly secured we will jointly invest in yielding stock and business on your advice in your country.
I am ready to give you 25% of the total cash for your immediate assistance because I can not do these on my own due to my status and ignorance of the business world. Your urgent reply indicating your interest will help me in no small measure to stop further contact, all other details will be made known to you and more importantly you have to treat this transaction as confidential as the hope of my survival is placed on this money.Morever,i want to use part of this fund to assist those affected in the disaster.
