Dear Sir,
Please this proposal is strictly confidential with due respect. Sorry
at the perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this letter,
since we have not known or met ourselves previously. Despite that
reason, please save me from this situation as I hope that this proposition
will not constitute an embarrassment to you in any way.
I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my situation here
and with this, let me introduce myself. I am Jacklyne KZuga (22 years old.
The Daughter of the former Advocat head of interim government of Cote"d"Ivoire
late Mr/Barrister Fidel KZuga who died during the Cote"d"Ivoire
civil disturbances. I am constrained to contact you because of the
maltreatment I received from my Father's brothers. They planned to forcefully
take all my Father's treasury and properties away from me
and since the unexpected death of my beloved father.
But they conspired together and stole my international passport
and other valuable traveling documents. But luckily they did not
discover where I hid my father’s documents file where important information
are kept. So I decided to contact you confidentially regarding this
particular issue.
They have even closed all my father's bank accounts just to frustrate
and enslave me. Now I urgently need the assistance of a
reputable and trustworthy Foreigner like you to help me make solid
arrangements and subsequent investment on my behalf the sum of
US$ 8.200.000.00 (EIGHT MILLION,TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS), which
my Father kept in a Security vault before his death.
It therefore became very necessary and urgent that somebody in your
foreign position should render a helping hand to safe-guard this fund for
me in safe haven over there until my arrival in your country. It is my
intention to compensate you with some of the total funds for your
services instead of loosing all to these ungrateful elements called my
Father's brothers.already i have made a good plans how to compesate you
with something very good after this fund has being into your control.
This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all
communications should be through this email address only for confidential
purposes. Giving you my phone number will definitely expose all the transaction
as they monitor my calls.
So the fund being a huge amount of money would require your help as a
Foreigner who can invest/do any business in any country .This money is deposited as a means of security banking for a safe guarding .Then as
Therefore all in Us Dollar's which is whereby well kept for or in a security reassons.It is therefore neccessary for me to got from you a
