Subject: Plead for assistance.
Dearest one.
My name is Miss Lizzy Cohn, the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs Williams Cohn. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan here, the economic capital of Ivory Coast; he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on business. My mother died on the 20th October 1989 and my father took me so special because l am motherless.
Before the death of my father on 29th November 2003 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside, when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying. He complained that I am too young to be managing my life, That I have not finished my university education as he planned for me. No body to take care of me again as a young girl, but after much crying, he still passed an instruction to me that he has a sum of $US8.000.000. (EIGHT MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in a security company here in Abidjan, that he used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposit of the funds.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that l should seek for a GOD fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer this money and use it for proper investment purpose. That I must finish my university education by the help of a business partner abroad, that he or she should help me obtain a resident permit in his or her country.
He also gave an out standing instruction to the company that the money must be invested outside this country. And it was deposited as an artefact to avoid problem or tampering by the officers of the company. Before use, this is to make sure that I did not begin to make use of the money here so that his enemies will not get at me. Now am ready to do all these since my father my bread winner is no more. Sir l am honourable seeking your assistance in the following ways.
May God bless you as you extend your helping hand to a needy fellow.
Best wishes
Miss Lizzy Cohn.
