Subject: Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible,
From: Steven Dagogo.
Refugee camp abidjan,
Cote d'Ivoire.
Hello and Good day,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction,
this is by virtue of its nature as being confidential and
secret, Though I know that transaction of this magnitude
will make anyone apprehensive and worried because you do not
know me,but i am assuring you that all will be well at the
end of the day.
My father is Mr Williams Dagogo he was a highly reputable
busnness magnate-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the
capital of Ivory coast during his days It is sad to say that
he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his
business trips abroad 12th.Feb. 2005.
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 16 years old,and since then
my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12
2005 he called me one day to accompanied him to a place
there he told me that he had a sum of $5.5 million US
DOLLARS (Five million five hundred thousand USD)deposited in
a Security Company here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
He also said he used my name( Steven Dagogo) to Deposit the
box as his only son, as well as the next of kin to the box.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth
that he was poisoned befor by his business assocaites, That
I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my
choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for
investment purposes in case if anything.
I want you to assist me in retreive this box of money from
the security company ,and also use it for an investment
purpose.
I am just 19 years old and a high school leaving certificate
holder and really don't know what to do.Now i really need
your help to claim this box of money. 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.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your son and friend?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be
good for you after the box of money is in your country?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible,
as well I will like you to forward your private telephone
and fax number for easy communication.
Looking forward to receive your reply.
Best Regards,
Steven Dagogo
