APPEAL FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE.
Dear Guardian,
Good day to you over there,please permit me to inform you of my
desire of going into this business relationship with you.Though
this letter may come to you as suprise, since you dont know me
personally before, but please kindly open your mind to help me and
treat me like your own blood relation, it is by the grace of God
that I found your contact recently, because it has been very
difficult for me to find a sincere person to entrust on this urgent
request transaction and to help me out of my affliction today,
I am Miss Marie Ange Dago, the only daughter of late Mr And
Mrs.Joseph Dago. My father was a very wealth cocoa merchant in
Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, my father died during
the political war crisis that going on in my country here in ivory
coast(cote d'ivoire)My mother died when I was a baby when she was
about to delivers a new baby and since then my father took me so
special.
Before the death of my father on january 2005 in a private hospital
herein Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me
that he has the sum of Eight Million,Five Hundred Thousand
United State Dollars. USD($8.500,000) Deposited in one of the
banks in Abidjan, that he used my name as her only daughter for the
next of kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me that
he might not survive the situation he was at that present.
However That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my
choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment
purpose such as real estate management or hotel management. I
am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards
again.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
(1)Can you help me in transfering this money to your account and
also invest it in any viable business of your choice?
(2)Can youstand as a guardian of this fund?
(3)Can you make an arrangement for me to come over to your country
to further my Education and to secure a resident permit in your
country?
(4) Can you honestly take me as your own and help me?
(5) Can I completely trust you?
(6) What percentage of the total amount in question will be good
for you after the money is in your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible so that
i can forward the documents to you after we have agreed on the
conditions for your assistance. My life is not safe here and i need
to be out of here as soon as possible because now that my father is
dead and with me only as a female child, firstly the political war
crisis are still going on here in my country and secondly my uncles
are seeking to kill me so that they can have all my fathers
properties. i really don't want to struggle anything with them in
terms of properties but my presence will still be disturbing them.
thank God they are not aware of this fund in the bank here hence, I
want to leave here as soon as you help me to have this money
transfered to your account and send me some amount to enable me
prepare to meet you. I am waiting for your urgent reply with your
contact phone number full home address your full bank account
details, then i will also give you the contact of the bank for you
to contact them on my behalf as my guardian.
Hopefully to hear from you asap.
Best Regards,
Your respectful one,
Miss Marie Ange Dago
