Good day, It's Good thing to write you, we come to you with due respect and equally with heartful of tears and sorrows since we have not known or met ourselves previously.Please, we mean no harm to you only that we are in a desperate situation and need urgent help. After going through this mail,it will be your decision,whether to help us or to leave us our faith, but whatever you decide, bear in mind, that we are in trouble and need your help. we are asking for your assistance.we will be so glad if you can allow and lead us to the right channel towards your assistance to our situation. We would like to use this opportunity to introduce ourself to you.I am Mike and my sister mary Williams , the only Son and Daughter of my late parents Mr and Mrs Turey Edward Williams,My father was a highly reputable business magnet(a cocoa,diamond and Gold merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad .Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth!.Our mother died when I was just 6 years old and my sister was 3 years, and since then our father took us so special.Before he made the trip to france that lead to our misfortune(his death)He called us,explained to us the reason why he will make the trip.and also told us that he has the sum of (USD$9.5 million)United State Dollars left in one of the leading security company here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa.He disguised the real content of the box as contain family valuables,which means that the security company is not aware of the real content of the box as contains money rather family valuable.This he told us that,is for the safty of the money in the box.Exept me my sister and my late father,no one is aware of the money in the box that is in the security company. We are presently staying in a Guest House here in Abidjan Cote D, Ivoire.this is because we have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of our father actually brought sorrow to ourlife. Dear, we are in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. As I am 19 years old and my sister 16 years. Now permit me to ask these few questions:- 1. Can you honestly help us ? 2. Can we completely trust you ? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account ? Please, Consider this and get back to us as soon as possible. Thanks and Remain bless .Sincerely Mike and Mary Williams.
