Subject: Dear respected one,
Dear respected one,
I am writting you this letter with due respect and heart full of tears as i am in need of your urgent help and immediate assistance.
I am ALFRED KONE, 21 years old and the only child of late MR and MRS EDWARD YAO KONE, FROM IVORY COAST here in West Africa.
My father was a wealthy Cocoa merchant, well known in almost all over the West African sub-region before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings to discuss a business deal. My father took me so special being his only child (SON) after the death of my mother years back, and before the sudden death of my father two months ago in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his sickbed and told me that he has a sum of USD$5,500.000 (Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars) deposited in one of the international banks here in Abidjan, and that he declared to the bank on the day he deposited the money that it belongs to his foreign business partner who will be submitting an account information for onward transfer of the money to Overseas.
My father also explained to me before he died that it was because of his wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the sales of Cocoa that he was poisoned. My father advised me incase he died to seek for a God fearing foreign person in a country of my choice, who will help me stand as his foreign partner and transfer the money out from the bank here in Abidjan for my future life. However, i am honourably seeking your assistance to stand as my late father's foreign business partner/beneficiary of this money for easy and immedaite transfer to your bank account,because i am afraid that the people who poisoned my father might be also after my dear life.
For your information,my father did not mentioned any particular name to the bank as his foreign business partner,but he declared that the money belongs to his foreign business partner for the security and safety of the money and to avoid much questions that always arised if someone deposited a huge amount of money in the bank here. Every Documents covering this money in the bank is intact with me, and i will tell you what is required for the transfer of this money to your account once you accepted to assist me. I have made up my mind to offer you 20% of the total sum for your kind assistance.

Yours sincerely,
ALFRED KONE.
