Greetings my dear !
I am writing with due sense of humility and responsibility and with the full awareness that you
will give it a conscious hearing and good considerations.
I am NWANNE DAVILLA the only son of late MR.& MRS.NWANNE PIUS OKO .My father
was a wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan , the economic capital of Ivory coast before he died in
the recent crisis here in Cote d'Ivoire .
My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the death
of my father on July 17 2004 in one of the private hospitals here,he told me that he has the sum of
Two million,five hundred thousand United State Dollars. USD ($2,500,000.00) left in a fixed / suspense
account in one of the major banks here in Abidjan and that he used my name being his only son as
the next of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of success and
wealth that people planned to kill him and therefore,advised me to seek for a foreign partner in a country
of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purposes such as real estate or
hotel management hence that was his original plans for me.
Pls,it is on this note that I am writing you this mail, honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred into .
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 19 years .
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure
a resident permit in your country .
Meanwhile, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your efforts/ input
after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account overseas provided you will
not betray me by sitting on this money when it comes into your account hence my future entirely
depends on the good use of this fund.
Thanks while I await your prompt response via this email address :
nwadavilla@yahoo.com hence I am desperate to leave this country based on the poblems I
am having with my uncle presently .
Yours sincerely,
Nwanne Davilla
