Dear Sir,
Thanks for your mail and This is exactly why I contacted you just to know if you can be of help and assist me over my inheritance deposited for me by my late father who died as a result of poison from his business associates here in Abidjan Cote d' Ivoire. Before the death of my father he deposited the sum of US12,500 000.00 with a security company here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.
During the deposit he agreed with the security company that his
foreign partner will come for the collection of the money which he deposited
and declared with them as family valuables in a trunk box. Due to the
agreement he made with the Security company I and my younger brother
cannot make this claim without presenting a foreigner who will stand and
act on our behalf as the foreign partner to my late father. This is why
he told me before his death to look for a reliable and trust worthy
foreigner who will assist me in this regard if anything wrong happens to
him.
Now that he have been poisoned to death I and my brother are calling
for your assistance to help us get this money into your account so that
we can have access to the money in your country.
Most importantly, during the deposit he did not expose the real
content of the box as he deposited and declare it as family valuables. So you
will not let any body know the real content of the box as only both of
us and my sister knows the real content of the box.
Secondly, you will also help us to invest the money in your country
while me and my kid brother will further our education in your country
once you receive the box.In all to be our guardian as we don't have any
body now to look after our welfare.
Once you get the money into your account you will send an invitation
letter to us and some money for us to prepare our travelling documents
to meet you in your country.
To enable you act on our behalf send to me your telephone and fax numbers,Full name
and address and the country you came from ok, which I will submit to
the security company informing them that you are my father's foreign
partner and co- beneficiary to this box.
Once I receive your next mail i will give you the contact of the
security company for you to make contact with them on our behalf.I will also
release the certificate of deposit for you so that you will contact them
without any mistake.
Please we need urgent attention to this problem as all our hope
depends in this money to survive in life.We have been under hiding here from
our father's associates whom have been trying their best to eliminate
us and have possesion of my father's assets,we dont even eat good food
while we have such amount waiting us in the company.
We always frequent the Security company but they gave little or no
attention to us until our foreign partner comes for the collection of the
box.For your kind assistance i and younger brother we will have resolved to
give 15% of the total sum for your kind gesture to assist us in this
transaction.Please our future is in your hands.Help us and God will bless you in
all.Waiting for your quick response,
Thanks and God Bless
Yours Miss Wumi Abdul
