Subject: Dearest,
Dearest,
I am Ariana Konan,the daughter of Late Alhaji Hassan Konan from Cote d'ivoire in West Africa. I want to use this media to ask for your help in transferring my inheritance into your country. I will be so glad if you can allow and lead me to the right channel towards your assistance to my present situation now.I'm aware that this might sound strange to you but please, I beg you to will handle this matter with the most urgency.
It is my desire to contact you based on honesty and sincerity to assist me in transferring $6,500,000(Six Million Five Hundred United States Dollars) which I inherited from my late father Alhaji Hassan Konan who was a Gold merchant based in Accra and Abidjan to your country for investment. My late father died in Abidjan General Hospital. He was poisoned in one of their business trips with his business partners who are selfish and jealous of Him. Before his death at the General hospital,he told me that he deposited this money in a bank here in my country with an agreement that nobody can withdraw from it until it is being transferred into a foreign partner's bank account which I shall nominate as his next of kin.
I found out more about this after the burial of my father,his lawyer confronted the family with some document. My Uncles took away everything leaving me with nothing.The whole problem started when they found out that they can not have an access to the money at the bank and that I Ariana have refused to sign any paper so that they can gain access to the money.
As I am writing you now,I am far away from home in fear of my Uncles who are threatening my life.Though, I have discussed with the bank Director and they have accepted to transfer the money to my choice oversea partner but the sincerely want to hear from my oversea partner before they can effect the transfer.
I am motivated in contacting you and hope to gradually build trust, relationship and confidence in you as I get to know you better.
I am willing to offer you 10% of the total money for your effort input after the successful transfer of this money and investment. Indicate your interest towards assisting me by sending your phone number,fax number,home and office address to me so that I can communicate with you at any time.I will also appreciate it if you can send across your photo for a better recognition. I will also send across my photo and phone number as soon as you reply this email.
I will be waiting to hear from you soon
Thanks,
Ariana.
