REQUEST FOR JOINT VENTURE :
Dear,Sir.
I'm writing you based on the information I gathered about the rapid growth of business in your country. It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since I can not be able to see you face to face at the first point I am BLESSING UCELI , the only child of my late father, late Dr. DAVID UCELI,from Zulu Kingdom, in the Republic of South Africa.
My father was a Structural Engineer, and a contractor to the PETROLE IVOIRE a Petroleum Refinery in the republic of Ivory Coast, West Africa. A week after he returned from from Ivory Coast, he was killed with along with my mother by unknown assassins. An incident which caused the immediate death of my mother. My father lived another five days in the hospital. He was later to reveal a financial claim to me.
On that faithful afternoon, I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I have lost my mother but before he gave up the ghost. He disclosed to me that he has Ten million three hundred thousand U.S Dollars ($10.3Million) left in fixed/suspense account in one of the prime bank in abidjan,that he used my name as his only child for next of kin in positing of the fund.
Fortunately, my father made available all the documents to me before he died. And I have verified from the Managing Director to the Bank in Abidjan, Ivory Coast about this Money .
And he told that I am qualified to transfer the fund to any country or account. Only that my presence is needed to complete the formalities of the benefactor, in accordance to stipulated regulations signed at the commencement of the fund.
Now, I am here in Abidjan having fulfilled some of the transfer procedures. I am now seeking investment opportunity in a growing market outside this continent for easy convertibility of currency, and maximum yield to my cash investment. I am searching out for a joint investment possibility taking the advantage of the Internet for a rapid assistance in this respect.
My motives are clear and I will give further explanation as well as proof of the genuiness as I receive a response from you. Of course we will be working together for a common good and financial benefits.I promise to properly consider all counsel you might have in support of this projected partnership.
Thanks for your kind attention and understanding.
Faithfully yours,.
BLESSING UCELI.
