I apologize for the late reply.
Last year I received an email about an inheritance in
Cote d'Ivoire. Even though I paid almost £2500 ($5000)
in fees to Barrister Eze, I have not yet received the
money.
I don't want to get burnt again.
Can I really trust you?

Dear Sir, /Madam
My name is Foday Konowa, 25 years from Sierra Leone.
My father and I escaped from our country at the heat
of the civil war after loosing my mother and
two of my senior brothers in the war. As a result of
the political instability in my country even after the
war, my father established his cocoa and coffee export
business in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
He was in Buake, a northern city to negotiate for the
purchase of a cocoa plantation when he was shot and
killed by the rebel troupes fighting to take over the
government of the country on the 22nd September, 2002.
The death of my father has now made me an orphan and
thereby exposing me to danger.
Before the unfortunate death, my late father had in
his personal account with a bank here the sum of$15m:
(fifteen million United States Dollars) As a result of
the present insecurity of lives and property in this
country, I wish request that you assist me use your
account in your country to transfer the balance of my
father's account.
Again to assist me with a letter of invitation that
will make me get a visa to your country for residence
in order for me to continue my education and to invest
the fund in a viable business venture. I am willing to
give you 12% while 5% has been earmarked for expenses.
If this is acceptable to you, send me a mail through
my regular e-mail account
so that we can discuss further on this matter.
PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH THIS EMAIL ADRESS .
