ABIDJAN, COTE D' IVOIRE
WEST AFRICA
Greetings to you.
I crave your indulgence at this mail coming from somebody you have not know
before. I decided to do this after praying over the situation. You should
please consider the transaction on its content and not the fact that you
have not known me before. I need not dwell on how I came by your contact
information because there are many such possibilities these days.
My name is Prince Alhaji,Atiku Danjima , I am 20 years old. I am from Bouke
in Cote D' Ivoire, West Africa. I became an orphan last two years when my
father and my mother were murdered in Bouke in the northen part of Cote
D'ivoire my home town. I was in school when the rebel new force went on
rampage and killed so many people in the town suspected for supporting the
government of Gbagbo. I was hide out from the school by a good samaritan and
moved to Cotonou Repubulic of benin , where I am presently taking refuge now
.
I am now staying with the old woman I call aunty in a refuge camp here , she
is 82 years old and she has been trying her best for me. I am confused as to
what to do to claim my late father's deposit in a security company in
Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire. He deposited a sum of $3,000,000 (Three million
dollars only) in a trunk box in a security company . This deposit was to be
sent to his business partner in Europe but since the crisis they lost
contact and all my effort to locate him was all in vain.
I am appealing to you in the name of God to help me or provide a person with
his or her destination address so that I can enroute this consignment into a
safe place for me. So that I will come over after the enroutement to
continue my studies and as well invest with you in any profitable venture in
your country .
I believe you are a reliable, and trustworthy person that will not sit on
the money at the end .
Finally,you will provide a safe place where I can move to continue my
studies. I promise to give you 30% of the total amount when the transfer is
made. That will cover all your inconveniences and any expensis you made
while helping me. If this condition is acceptable to you, you should contact
me Immediately with your full names and contact information so that I will
send you all the documents that the company gave to my late father when the
consignment was deposited. So that you will contact the company directly,
and demand from them the procedure towards retrieving the consignment from
their company.
I wait to hear from you soon,
Yours faithfully,
Prince Alhaji,Atiku Danjima
