Subject: As Salaam Alaykum!!!
Dearest One,
As Salaam Alaykum!!!
Thank you for taking your precious time to give response to my mail and also for accepting me as your friend.
I would like to give you description of my family, so you can know more better about me, My father was a highly reputable business magnate-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital city 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 on 12TH.Feb. 2004.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who traveled with him at that time. But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 11 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12TH 2004 he called his secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of $9.5 million US DOLLARS (Nine Million Five Hundred thousand USD)deposited in a suspense/ fixed deposit account with one of the local banks here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
He also explain to his secretary that the funds was meant for an investment purpose in oversea before he met his untimely death meanwhile as his only daughter, he use my name as the next of kin to the funds. Further he told his secretary to inform me that whenever I am ready to go and claim the funds at the bank where it was deposited that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer the money to and use it for an investment in this area below:
1). Telecommunication
2). The Transport Industry
3). Five Star Hotel
4) Estate management.
Now I would be very happy and glad if you can assist me in clearing this fund into your account oversea for an investment in one of the suggestion area I mention above.
I am a woman and beside I do not know anything about business world more so I am high school leaving certificate holder and really don't know what to do. I want you to provide an account where the fund will be transfer to. If interested in doing this with me, kindly indicate by answering my question below.
1. Can you honestly help me as a friend or partner or soul mate?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your account?
Note that I can never lure you to what your mind do not want, I am only trying to express my present state of living to you as a true friend or partner or soul mate.
Let me know your opinion on this.
Remain bless in ALLAH SWT while I await your prompt response.
Once again thank you so much.
Sincerely Yours,
Ms Rokia.
