Subject: Please i need your favour.
Dear Respectful One,
I am Cynthia Ene from Mende tribe in the Eathern part of Seirra Leone in west Africa. I am 20years old. I am the first and only daughter of the late Mr Steven Ene I am presently residing in Cote D'ivoire. I know you will be surprised to read from me, but please consider this letter as a request from a person that need your assistance.
Before my father’s death, he was a very rich Cocoa business merchant here in Abidjan the commercial capital of Cote d'ivoire in west Africa.
He use to operate within South, East and West African Countries. He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their business trip outside west Africa. My mother died when I was just 6 years old,and since then my father took me so special.However, Before his untimely death in one the leading hospital in this country, He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum USD$15.000.000 (Fifteen Million U.S.Dollars) deposited in a suspense account in one of the banks here in Abidjan,he used my name his only daughter as the next of kin to deposited the fund.
he told me that it was because of his wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner in any country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose and start a new life there since i am an orphan.It is the fear of betrayal from anyone around me here that confirms my decision to contact a neutral individual like you and I want you to educate me on investment potential in your country since I would like to invest and continue my education there in your country.
I am appealing to you to assist me transfer this fund to your bank account there in your country so that i can move over to your location and continue with my education there.I will give you the full contact information of the bank immediately i hear from you and other details about the fund and the deposit.
In regard to this, your suggestions and ideas will be highly appreciated.
Now permit me to ask you these few questions :
1. Can you honestly help me as your partner or your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you that you can not betray me?
If you can be of an assistance to me i will be pleased to offer you 20% of the total amount.Please don't feel offended by my questions but i am only trying to be careful inorder to avoid thesame thing that happened to my late father not to occur again because money is tempting.
My father when he was alive he use to tell me that " CONSIENCE IS AN OPEN WOUND BUT ONLY THE TRUTH WILL HEAL IT" i pray that this mail will touch your heart in a special way like never before.
I am waiting patiently to hear from you after going through this letter.
Extend my warm regard to your entire family and loved ones.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Cynthia Ene.
