My Dear beloved one,
I am hellen amed . I went through your profile and I like it and also love everything about you then I decided to write to tell you about myself, which I believe you would be of great assistance to me,
It's my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I and my younger brother musa amed ,intend to establish in your country. Though I have not met with you before but I believe,one has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life.
My father was a highly reputable busnness magnate-(a cocoa and cafe 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 12th.Feb. 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 my brother wors just 11 years old,and since then my father took me and my brother so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2003 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of $10.5 million US DOLLARS (ten million five hundred thousand USD)deposited There in
a security storage house here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire before he was assasinated by unknow persons.Now me and my brother decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for security and political reasons.We want you to help us to transfer this fund to your country for investment purposes on the followings below:
He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund with the security bank as his fest daughter, 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 business assocaites, 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 country overseas as a
beneficiary of the fund,and also use it for an ivestment purpose.
If you you can be of an assistance to us we will
like you to tel. us what you well take form us.
Of the total fund. I await your soonest response.
Extend my warmest regards to your entire family.
Thank you and God bless you.
Sincerely, hellen
