FROM ROSE CANDY WILLIAMS
ADDRESS/ AVE 11 RUE 45
KOUMASSI, COTE D IVOIRE
Dear,
With respect and humility, I decided to send this proposal to you, this
however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour
against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, I am Rose
Candy Williams , 22years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.
and
Mrs.Williams. My father was a highly reputable business man (a cocoa
merchant and suppulier of agro allied material ) 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 in
February 2003. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to
have beenmasterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that
time.
But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and
since then my father took me so special.
Before his death on February 12, 2003, he told me about a box he concealed
the sum of eighten million, seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.
(USD$18.700,000) deposited in one of the security company's in Europe,
which he disguised and declared the box to contain familyvaluables instead
of money,by this way the company does not know the true content of the box.
I have in my possesion the deposit document which the company gave to my
late father when he deposited the box with the security company. I really
don't know what to do. 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. I am in a sincere
desire of your assistance
in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now
permit me to ask these few
questions:-
1. Can you honestly and willingly help me as your
sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is in your
country?
Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you so
much,
My sincere regards,
Miss Rose Candy
