Hi,
I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.George A. Koune.
My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet who operated in the
capital of Ivory coast during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one
of his business trips abroad on the 12th September 2004. Though his
sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by
an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the
truth! My mother died when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father
took me so special.
Before his death on September 2004, he called me and informed me that
he has family valuables valued at the sum of Five Million, Seven
Hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$5,700,000.00) deposited with one
of the leading secuirity company down here in Africa. He further told
me that he made the deposited in my name as the next of kin, and also
gave me all the necessary but legal documents regarding to this deposit
with the company.
I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't
know what to do. Now I want you to help me negociates with the company
for the release of this deposit and repatrations to your country were I
will come and reside permanently till such a time that it will be
convinient for me to return back home if I so desire. This is because I have
suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis
here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to
my life. I also want to invest the fund under your care because I am
ignorant of business world.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.
Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask
these few questions:
1. Can you honestly help me from your heart?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the deposit has been transfered?
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Immedaitely I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also
inform you more details involved in this matter.
Kind Regards,
Miss Judith Koune.
