DEAR,
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since I can not be
able to see you face to face at first, i believe you with never fail
me.Being the first and the only Daughter of my father, late PRINCE DENNIS
BENT from BETE in Republic of COTE D'IVOIRE Africa I am 21years of age. My
father was limited liability cocoa and gold merchant in ABIDJAN before his
untimely death after his business trip to SWITZERLAND, to negotiate on a
cocoa business.
A week after he came back from SWISS, he was assassinated with my mother by
unknown assassins. Which my mother died, instantly, but my father died after
five days in hospital, on that faithful afternoon. I didn't know that my
father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother. But before he gave
up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. my father, (may his
soul rest in perfect peace) he disclose to me that he deposited the sum of
USD 3 MILLION U.S DOLLARS in a PRIVATE BANK here in ABIDJAN. That the money
was meant for his cocoa business he wanted to invest in Abidjan- Côte
d'Ivoire. Though, according to my father he deposited the money in his own
name . He single handed me over the document and logging and verifying
informations , and instructed me to seek for a life time investment partner
abroad. Now I have succeeded in locating the BANK in here and also confirmed
the fund is in there , most honest and confidentiality. Now I am soliciting
for your assistance to help me lift this money out from The BANK to your
account abroad so that we should invest it in any lucrative business in your
country.
I am Waiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the
modalities of this transaction, Thanks for your kind attention and mutual
understanding.If you are willing to help me out kindly send me you full
contact information such as your direct telephone and fax number.
