COTE D'IVOIRE WEST AFRICA.
Dear Respectful One
How are you and every members of your family hope fine Good a thing to write you? I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail.
I am JONNY KEN, 23YRS OLD and my younger sister MARY KEN, 19 years old, We are the children of late Chief and Mrs.NART KEN, Our father was a highly reputable business magnet (a cocoa merchant) who operated through out West Africa during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad. 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 5 years old, and since then my father never hides anything from me. Before he made the trip to France that lead to my misfortune(his death)He called me, explained to me the reason why he will make the trip...and also told me that he has the sum of sixteen Million Five hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$16.500,000) deposited in one of the security company's here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa, which he disguised and declared the&nbs p; box to contain family valuables instead of money, by this way the company does not know the true content of the box.
The deposit document which I have in my possession carries my late father's name as the depositor, while I'm the next of kin on the same document.
In fact, since the death of my late father, our uncle has been seriously chasing us around with constant treats, trying to suppress us so that he might have the documents of his landed properties and confiscate them. He has successfully collected all his properties, yet he never stopped there, he told me to surrender this document of my late father, which I did not, because only this money is where our future and destiny lies upon. My uncle never aware of where we are here in a guest house Yamoussoukro village, and he can never be aware of us Consider our situation as a child of God and come to our rescue, we are paying per day for residing and infact it is really affecting us, please I beg of you with all honesty.
We are just a student of a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. 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. 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 us?
2. Can we completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is been claim from the security company?
Please kindly consider this and get back to us as possible if you wish to help, please I am sincerely in need of your urgent attention.
Thanks and God bless you,
Yours Sincerely,
JONNY & MARY KEN.
