It is my pleasure to write you after much
consideration, since I can not be able to see you face

Being the only son of my father, late CHEIF. PHILIP
NZI from Côte d´Ivoire(I am 23 years of age.
My father was limited liability Cocoa and Gold
merchant in Abidjan before his untimely death.
After his business trip to Abidjan -Côte d´Ivoire, to
nagociate on a cocoa and gold business he wanted to
invest in Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire. A week after he
came back from Abidjan, he got an accident with my
mother of which my mother died instantly but my father
died after five days in a private hospital on that
faithful afternoon, I didn´t know that my father was
going to leave me after I had lost my mother, but
before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he
was going to die.
He my father, (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) he
disclosed to me that he deposited sum of
$10,000,000,00 US Dollars (TEN MILLION US DOLLAR)
in a Security Company here in Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire.
That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold
company he wanted to establish in Abidjan - Côte
d´Ivoire though, according to my father he deposited
the money in a trunk box but declared it as vital
family belongings. He single handed me the key of the
box and the deposit certificate and instructed me to
seek for a reliable and trust worthy business partner
for my life time investment abroad.
Now I have succeeded in locating the security company
here in Abidjan - Côte d´Ivoire also confirmed the
items with most honest and confidentiality. Now I am
soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this
money out from Abidjan to your safe account abroad so
that we should invest it in any meaningful lucrative
business in your country because this is my only hope
in life.
I am willing to offer you 20% of the total fund if
only you can help me out of my present predicament.
