Subject: Hi,
Hi, I am very much delighted to send you this e-mail. Infact, the very moment i saw your profile i was convince within my heart that you are such a reliable and a trustworthy person that i can confide in, but my only fear now is your ability to believe and understand what i have to tell you. My name is Temple Albert, and my younger sister Joy. We are the only children of Late Chief Thomas Albert, from Bouake district of Cote d'Ivoire (a French Colony), while our mother was an African-American. We where all living with our mother not too far from Charleston building, 601 57th Street, Charleston West Virginia USA before she passed away (died) barely two years ago, and after her death, we left America to meet our father in Cote d' Ivoire for the very first time, though he was also living in the state before he relocated back to Cote d' Ivoire to set up a business. While arriving Cote d'Ivoire to meet our father for the first time, through the help of a U.S. consulate, we discovered that our father was very sick, while the doctor confirmed to me that he was suffering from heart attack and high blood pesure, he eventually died 8 months ago. But before his death there was a file containig some vital document which he single handed to me and told me confidentially as his only son, that everything he had worked for in his life time is in the file. So as i cross checked the documents, i discovered that my late father deposited the sum of US$10.Million dollars in a bank, for onward transfer abroad for our family investment. Unfortunately my late father when deposited the fund disclosed to the bank that the money was for his foreign investor who shall contact the bank with his bank account details for onward transfer of the money abroad, just because of the political situation of this country to avoid the government of this country raising an eyebrow over the fund. Infact, why i am telling you this is that after the burial of my father, i went to the bank to withdraw some money from the deposit, while the bank refused me access rather insisted that the bank must uphold the agreement they reached with my late father, by releasing the US$10.Million dollars to our late father foreign Investor, thereby advised me to furnish them with the contact/bank account details of our late father foreign investor to enable them transfer the money for us. And as a boy of 16 years, there is little or nothing i could do on my own, and again if my late father's relatives should find out that my late father left that kind of money in my care, i wonder what they might do to us, because they had so much hatred over us and to our father just simply because of his business success. So, as a result i need you to help us stand as our late father foreign investor to provide your bank account and contact the bank for our claim of the money for our future investment abroad. Infact, if you can do this to help us, apart from the 10% of the total sum which we shall give you as your compensation, you shall also be rewarded with another 5% of the fund to cover whatever expenses you might incur in the process. Furthermore, i know you may find it difficult to believe our predicament, maybe due to the fact you don't know us or know our parents before their death, but honestly you are free to contact the bank to verify our claims, which i shall not hestitate to give you the full details of the deposit and the contact informations of the bank as soon as I hear from you. Your's faithful,Temple and Joy.
