Subject: please can you help me ?
Dearest one,
Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you.
I'm Miss Elohr Stephane,22 year old opharn from the republic of Cote d'ivoire, i 've a kid sister 'Linda'as well.
Our late dad Dr.Chris Stephane was an industrialist in Abidjan, he died in a private hospital while on holidays in the countryside on the 10th of May 1996, after a fatal motor accident,(i've earlier lost my mom as a kid).
Before dad gave up in the hospital,he told me that he deposited the sum of $5,300,000,( five million,three hundred thousand dollars) in a private security(reserve) company in Abidjan ,Cote d'Ivoire.
He said that during the deposition of the box containing the money in the reserve company, that the boxe were declared as family valuable property not as money for security reasons,and finally he gave me all the necessary documents Issued to him by the security company during the deposition of the box which will enable me claim them from the security company.
The following are the documents:
(i)Certificate of deposit (ii)Agreement of deposit (iii)Receipt of deposit payment.
Please, I want you to know also that this money is the only hope we have for our future survival bacause after the death of my parents, some of our greedy relatives colaborated to confiscate all that our late parents left for us except these boxes which they are not aware of and we can not fight them because we are too young to confront them.
However, at present there's political uprising in the country and the Northern Region has been seized by a separatist rebelious group that are also causing disturbanses in the commecial capital where i live at present.
My purpose of contacting you are as follows:
1)To help us retrive this Box from the security company here in Abidjan and transfered to your country to your country.
2)To help us invest this money in partnership with you in your country or any other country of our choice while you will be the controller because i've got to continue my studies which was disrupted by the death of our dad.
I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum if you will assist me in good faith.
Please, whatever your position may be,i want to hear from you
Regards,
Miss Elohr.
