Subject: Please I need Your Assistance From Fane.
My Dear,
Good day to you, I hope fine, dear am writing this mail with due respect and heartful of tears since we have not known or met ourselves previously I am asking for your assistance,i have gone through your profile and will be very glad if you can render me assistance to my situation now.My name is Mr.Fane Momodou a 19 years old boy.I am the only Son of Late Mr. & Mrs.Alahaji Usman Abdullah Momodou. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote D'Ivoire. He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip. My mother died when i where babie.
Before the death of my father on Sept. 2002 in a private hospital in Abidjan, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Twenty million five hundred thousand United State Dollars USD ($20.500,000) which was deposited some years ago by my late father he made me the sole beneficiary/next of kin to the money. I am now asking you to stand on my behalf to make this claim from the finance company, I am a Boy and too young in age i can't handle this can of transaction, i want you to stand as my foreign partner oversea and also to help me investment the money. I will give you details about the deposit as you respond to my request. I have all original copies of the documents concerning this money with me here.
He then strongly advised me not to seek for assistance in the investment of the money from his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a foreign partner from a country of my choice (outside our country, Cote D'Ivoire) that willl assist me in the wise investment of the money.I have since left the money in the finance company with the view of my making use of it for investment purposes after my education carrier here.
But as you may be already aware by now, our country (Cote D’Ivoire) is presently at political crises. Rebels have already taken over the whole Northern part of the country and making efforts towards the capture of the commercial center of the country, Abidjan, where i am befor, i left my country to Senegal.
For this ugly development in my country, i have now decided to take quick actions and have this money transferred out of the finance company before it is too late to do that. I now want to transfer it from the finance company and use it for investment purpose like Real estate management or Hotel management. Because of this i am honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To serve as a guardian to me and then assist me transfer the money into your Country. (2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and then settle there parmanently.
If you accept to stand as my guardian or foster parent to me, i need not discuss on any percentage with you as you have to see the whole money as yours and then assist me invest it. But if you still want a percentage, I am willing to offer you, 30 % of the total money as compensation for your assistance. Pleas tell me if you feel the percentage i offered is not ok by you.
As soon as I receive your concrete assurance to assist me with my proposal and also your full contact address/phone number, I will then give the finance company contact information and then tell them to transfer the money into your Country as i want to come over to stay with you parmanently. The finance company will then contact you and communicate with you on the transfer. You shall then be giving me information on when the transfer will be over. I will also send my pictures to you and shall also need yours too.
No matter what your decision may turn out to be, please i Please you to keep this highly secret for my safety, as i believe that those that killed my Daddy are still after me.
Thanks and Allah bless you .
Best regards,
Fane Momodou.
