Subject: From Miss Patricia Onoh
Dearest one Hellen,
l know this mail will come as a surprise to you. I have a proposal for you to this project however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, I am Miss Patricia Onoh, 22years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel Onoh. My father was a highly reputable farmer (a cocoa merchant) in cote d' ivories during his days.
It is sad to say that he was poisoned and passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 12th.December 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by my uncle who traveled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special.
Before he made the trip to France that lead to my misfortune (his death) He called me and explained to me the reason why he will make this trip and also told me that he deposited a trunk box that contain US$ 800.000 (Eight hundred thousand dollar) in a storage company there in Abidjan Ivory D Coast and that this money is for an investment purpose overseas .He also told me that the storage company did not know the content of the box as money but gold dust to avoid the storage company from knowing the contents as money.
He gave me the certificate that he used for the deposit of the box at the Storage Company and other vital documents of his asset, after his death l went to the security company and establish ownership of the consignment. Now l need your assistance to move this fund to your country for investment as that has been my late father's aim before his death. Now permit me to ask these few questions: -
Can you honestly help me withdraw the said consignment, what will you like to take as your commission to assist me in this project? Please can you kindly arrange a letter of invitation to enable me migrate to your country after this fund might have lodge into your account? Are you ready to help and pay all charges to the company for the storage of the consignment lf this proposal arouse your interest kindly contact me back with my email address immediately.
Thanks for your Understanding
Anticipat Your Cooperation.
Miss Patricia Onoh.
