Subject: A VERY NICE DAY TO YO
From Cordelia Idemudia
Abidjan Ivory Coast.
Dear beloved ,
I hope this letter will not upset you, as we have no previous Discussion on this matter. I am Cordelia Idemudia, daughter of Mr. F.A. Idemudia; a Liberian former Director of Liberian Mining corporation who was Assassinated by the Rebels fighting former President Charles Taylor's Government in Oct.2002. My mother died of heart attack, one year after my Father's death. I And my Brother Jones become orphans without anybody to care for us, even The Government which our father served and lost his life.
My father unsure of Liberia Political future had secretly moved the sum of Ten Million USA Dollars [$10.Million] out of Liberia and deposited it as fix/suspense account in a commercial bank in our neighbouring Country of Ivory Coast. That was at the period when Liberia was facing United Nation Embargoes. We left Monrovia to live in Abidjan, Ivory Coast as political refugees In August 2003 when the President; Mr. Charles Taylor was forced into exile. It was unfortunate that the Government did not make any arrangement to cover us in their plan to move to exile. So because of the Rebels coming into Monrovia, we have no alternative than to escape as they may kill us as they killed our father.
I hereby request you to assist us by acting as our late father's foreign business partner so that you will help us to transfer the money from the bank here to your foreign account for investment purposes. You will also help us to migrate to your country to continue our lives as orphans and with your guidance; the money will be invested in profitable ventures.
Kindly inform me what percentage of the total sum you wish to receive as compensation for rendering your help. You should please treat this matter as confidential, as I would not like to expose the existence of the money at the bank for security reasons ranging from our refugee status here and our father's status as civil servant. Kindly study my request carefully and send your response to the above email addresses.
Thanks in advance for saving our lives.
Yours Sincerely,
Cordelia Idemudia.
