Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without yourprior consent and writing through this channel.
My name is Mrs.Sarah M. Williams, a citizen of KHOROGO REPUBLIC OF COTE D'IVOIRE. I got your contact from the Chamber of Commerce here during my search for an international business relationship. I am residing in Abidjan the capital City of Cote d'Ivoire.
In fact I worked with PRESIDENT ROBERT GUEI as one of his personal confidants. During the renewed political crisis of which he was brutally murdered by the Government forces who claimed to be the rebels who have been causing problems in my country.
It was then that I moved the total sum of US 25,000,000.00 (Twenty Five Million United States Dollars) which was from the sales of coffee and cocoa and gold that the rebels wanted to use for the purchase of ammunitions before he was killed without anybody's knowledge except me.
I personally want to transfer the money out of Africa to oversea where I can invest this money properly and bring up my family there.
Right now I have already discharged my assignment as a civil servant in the government seat. This money has no trace at all, that is the reason why I waited for some time for things to calm down, before I could transfer the money out for onward use. However, I deposited the money into a Bank here with the document covering the lodgment.
I have equally filled the hole that might bring scandal, so the business is 100% risk free. I have promised to gratify you with 15% of the total sum for your kind assistance, if you can avail me an account facility where I can transfer the money.
In addition a letter of invitation is highly needed because I will fly to meet with you as soon as the transfer is done.
If you accept this proposal you are advised to send to me your banking details for the transfer.
Please I beg that the information passed through must be treated with absolute confidentiality considering how I got the money to avoid trace or problem.
Upon receipt of the message if you are not interested please kindly destroy and keep to yourself. Do not let someone else see or you telling another person about it for my security. In Africa here we suffer a lot so this is a great opportunity for me.
Thanks million times if you act as instructed.

Mrs.Sarah M. Williams.
