Subject: ATTENTION FOR CONFIDENTIAL REQUEST
Sir,
Compliments of the day, before I proceed, I must be grateful to introduce myself. I am Mr Richard Teteh, the son of the late Brigadier Evans Teteh of the then military government of Ivory Coast. Prior to the time of the crisis which is presently on in my country, I got your contact from a directory I acquired.
Due to my position, as the son and benefficiary to the late Brigadier, I have been able to come away with a reasonable sum of money after the brutal murder of my parents by my father's political opponents, this money belongs to my father and is in the total sum of 18 million USD$ of which I have the tendency to invest it in a company with good line of products and with potentials for a good capital returns.
Since your country is one of the good investor friendly nations in the world, I have decided to seek your assistance for me to transfer this funds to your country and run business over there, for the mutual benefit of both of us.
I would therefore like you to help me in every possible way in securing this funds in your country.
Furthermore I will like you to assist me in finding a good business that I will wisely invest this fund on.
However upon acceptance you will be required to contact me through my personal e-mail address ( evateteh@she.com ) for security reason in which you will be informed and get update about the current arrangement I have made so far on how to transfer the money from Thailand to your account through a bank account that you will open in your name here.
In view of your participation, you will part with a good negotiable percentage as a reward, or better still commit it into a joint venture project.
Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the fund belongs to me alone as the only beneficiary and surviving son of my family.
As soon as I get your consent, I will start making a head way arrangements on how the transaction will be executed, especially for easy transfer of the money out of here to your country.
Meanwhile this transaction is free and safe , in that all the fund relevant documents are still intact with me as the only legal beneficiary.
As soon as the money is transferred into your country, I'll finally come over to your country for the final arrangements.
I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success hereafter.
If you have any question do not hesitate to include same in your reply.
Best Regards,
Richard Teteh.
