In brief, I have the sum of eight million five hundred thousand united states dollars only(us$8.5M) which I want to invest in your country. This money was
deposited by my late father in a security vault for safe keeping, of which I was made the sole next of kin as the first son of my mother the third wife to my father,It happened that my mother is in possession of the depositional documents of this deposit.Because of the present situation in my country cote d'ivoire, my mother advised me to leave the country immediately for security reasons, and also to look for a trust worthy foreign partner who can assist me to transfer the money out of sengal to his private or company’s account for investment.
I highly need your assistance both in transferring the money to your country and also investing it in a profitable venture with your kind advice ,as I confide
in you hoping you will never betray me at last. My mother and I have proposed (15%) percent of the total sum of the money for you as your own comission, so as for you to give us all necessary assistance and protection we may need in your Country.
Please treat as highly confidential because our future depends on this money,all the vital! documents covering the deposit of the fund in a security company are with me here and will be used to effect change of ownership in your favour for susequent transfer to any account you may wish us to use abroad .
The identity of the finance company where the fund is deposited, will be revealed to you as soon as I recieve confirmation from you on your willingness to proceed, as seeing is believing.reach me through this mail box to discuss modalities on how to proceed.
Looking forward to hearing from you urgent.
