Subject: WHY I CONTACTED YOU
Hello my dear,
Nice to meet you, I am Mis. Blessing Akiga from Sierra-Leone but currently reside in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire, it's a pleasure meeting you today. This letter might come to you as a surprise because we have never met each other before, I sincerely apologize in advance if this letter is against your communication principle, just do me a favour by responding to the urgency of this letter if you deem it necessary to give me a helping hand.
I lost my husband when rebels struck the northern part of Cote d’Ivoire (Buake) in 2005 as he went to negotiate for the establishment of cocoa processing factory. Before his death, he made a deposit of US$ 10.5 Millions with a bank here in a suspense fixed account, which I never knew that; clause was attached to it until I got to the bank recently.
I got to the bank and demanded for the release of the fund so that I’ll have access to it, they turned my requested down, demanding for a foreign account where the money will be transferred. It was then that I knew that my late husband made the deposit in a suspense fixed account with a clause attached to it for onward transfer in a foreign account. They requested that I should get a foreign partner’s account which I made them known that I never knew any of my late husband’s foreign partner. So they advised that I should try and get anybody who will
stand in as my late husband’s foreign partner. The bank director promised to help me in transferring the money as soon I fulfill their requirement by submitting foreign information.
If you’re ready to help me transfer this money into your account, please send the following details of you to enable me submit it to the bank for immediate transfer procession:
1. Your Name:
2. Contact address:
3. Phone and Fax Numbers:
4. Occupation:
I’ll give you 15% of the total fund transferred for your commission and 5% for any expense you might incur during the transfer, all making 20%. You should deduct this 20% immediately the money gets into your account. The rest you’ll keep for me until I come over there with my son (Ken.)
I have plans to invest this money in continuation with the investment vision of my late husband, but not in this place again rather in your country. I have the vision of going into real estate and industrial production, please if you are willing to assist me and my only son Ken, indicate your interest in replying soonest.
Thanks in advance for your anticipated co-operation,
Yours sincerely,
Blessing Akiga
