Abidjan cote'ivoire
Dear One,
If I must be fair to myself and to all, I would want to believe that this
mail may keep you a little uneasy considering the fact that we do not know
each other but frankly, that's the primary reasons why I chose to contact
you. I really am so sorry as I never meant to put you off-guard by what I
intend to tell you here and will appreciate it greatly if you do understand
totally my situation and position regarding the subject matter that I am
divulging here.
The political situation in my country here, Cote d'Ivoire has indeed dealt a
great blow to me . I have considered many options regarding my condition and
resolved that I must forge ahead with my life if not for any other thing to
fulfil my dreams and the good intentions of my father who was murdered in
cold blood by some group of rebel vagabonds. Their gruise was that my late
father was suspected to be opposing their political ambitions with his
wealth hence he was marked and eventually eliminated. My late father was a
very wealthy businessman and contractor and excelled in all his endeavours.
I was away at school in Ghana when I got the news of my father's
assasination early last year and felt devastated as my father was everything
to me. The assailants capitalised on the rebel activities in my area Bouake
to kill my father as they claimed that he didn't want to join their group
and fight the government hence he would be killed. The governement was
handicapped to do anything since the rebels controlled the town till now.
When I came back, I was advised not to stay in the area since my father has
been buried already. However, before now, I am aware of the MONEY which is
EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDREDS THOUSANDS UNITED STATES DOLLARS($8.5m)he
deposited with a bank here in Cote d'Ivoire which he intended to transfer
overseas for investments which he did not achieve following his sudden
demise.He made me the next of kin to the MONEY and had before now explained
a whole lot of things concerning the MONEY to me in the event that he is not
able to carry on with the project.
I have tried severally since the sudden death of my father to have access to
the MONEY but was denied as according to the bank officials, the deposit
agreement between the bank and my late father, I should not be allowed to
have a direct access to the deposited MONEY unless I am 25 years of age or I
should have someone who is older than the stipulated age to interceed on my
behalf with my consent. This is why I am contacting you now to help me get
the MONEY released and transferred into your account in your country so that
you could have me come over to your country to complete my education while
you take care of the investment of the MONEY.
I shall be glad to get your positive response so that I will proceed to
giving you the bank contact details to make the contacts and request for the
release and transfer of the MONEY to your account.
Awaiting your response, I remain as always,In His loving arms
Kingsley Eleko
