From Ahmed Omar.
Abidjan Ivory Coast.
Dearest One,
Good a thing to write you.
I am mr Ahmed omar ,19 years old and the only son of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Yusuf Omar.My father was a highly reputable businness magnate-(a cocoa merchant)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 year 24th.November. 2003.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 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on November 24th 2003 he called me and disclose to me that he had a sum of the FiFteen million United State Dollars.(USD15.00,000) deposited in a security company here here in Abidjan,Ivory Coast.
He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund with the Security Company as his only son, as well as the next of kin to the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his uncle, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund,and also use it for an ivestment purpose.
I am just 19 years old and a high school leaving certificate holder and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. 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.
Dearest one,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 as your Son?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible, as well I will like you to forward your private telephone and fax number if you are willing to have the relevant documents to confirm the existence of the fund for verification from the bank and to confirm the authenticity of my proposal to you also for easy communication.
Above all I'm corresponding with you from my country here in Cote D'Ivoire West Africa and moreso there is great political war going on here in my country, that is the main reason why I contacted you to help me in getting me and my only inheritance out of this country so that I may not loosed my life and the inheritance to war in this country, infact I'm facing hard difficulty at the moment in this country.See what is going on here right now below
