Dear ,
I want to firts thank you very much for taking the time and going through my email, I appreciate that very much. I also want to assure that this is as genuine as you and me, I was able to dicover certain documents in my father's file cabinet that led me to this. My father and I where living in Afghanistan, he was a successful diamond merchant, just after Sept 11 2001, my father brought me back to Cote d'Ivoire(west africa) my native country to stay, he stayed back in Kabul, because of his business, and unfortunately he was a victim of US bombings in Afghanistan.
I will give you a copy of the certificate of deposit from the bank, that was given to my father. So you can at least get to know who you are communicating with and as proof of what I am telling you so that there will be mutual trust.
As I have mentioned to you in my first mail, I discovered that my father had deposited the sum of $6.5m dollars in a prime bank here in Cote d'ivoire called Bank of Africa. I will send you a copy of the deposit receipt that I have found for your persusal.
The reason, why I contacted you is because the political situation in my country is getting worse.You should be aware that my country has been politically unstable since 1999 after the brief civil war, the country is currently under UN supervision. Politics in Africa can be very bloody. And with the present regime, the funds can just dissappear without accountability.
So I seek your assistance to help me transfer the funds into your country for investment purposes and once it has been successfully transferred, I intend to come over and continue my studies. I pray God will touch your heart and you will understand my situation.
I know nothing goes for nothing I will be willing to offer you 30% of the total amount once the money has been transferred to your account.
If you are truly willing to help me then let me know so that I may put you in contact with the bank, so that you may obtain direct information from them and they will inform you on the legal procedures to follow in order to have these funds transferred overseas. You will be put in direct contact with the remittance department.
I will be very happy to hear from you very soon. YES YOU CAN TRUST ME
Diane
