Dear Respectful One,
Thank you and may God Almighty bless and reward you abundantly for devoting your precious time and energy to go through my mail. There is no doubt that this note will come to you as a surprise because it is my maiden note to you.
Introducing myself, I am SALMS JAMES 22 years of age and the only son of late Mr and Mrs James Boli.
My father was a Gold and cocoa merchant based in Accra, Ghana and
Abidjan(IvoryCoast), he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their business trips.
Before the death of my father on 29th June 2004 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has a sum of USD$7.5M (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand usd ),deposited in a private Security company in (Abidjan Cte d,Ivoire, that he used my name
as his only son for the next of kin in depositing the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign
partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and
use it for investment purpose such as expansion of his existing cocoa
business and real estate management.
He told me that the fund is a sealed trunk box as such the security Company does not know the contents of the box. I am humbly seeking your assistance in the following ways:
1- To assist me in providing an account of yours where this fund can quietly be transferred into.
2- To serve as the guardian of this fund since I am still in the university.
3- To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further
my education and to help me secure a residential permit in your country.
Furthermore, you can indicate your interest towards assisting me as I
believe that this transaction would be concluded within the shortest possible time if you signify interest to assist me.
May the almighty God bless you as you come up to help an orphan like me.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours Sincerely
SALMS JAMES.
