Subject: Hello my dear,
Hello my dear,Compliment of the day. I m Mrs.Jennifer Kone
from sierra-Leone. I deemed it necessary to disclose this important
issue with you because I came across your contact in my late husband
diary that I lost during rebel attack on him in my Country.Before
his death, he told me about an account he had in a bank here in Cote
d'Ivoire, where he made a deposit of US$10.5 Millions Dollars. The
money was for purchase of cocoa procession machines and development of
another factory, unfortunately he did not meet his target before his
untimely death.My reason for contacting you is for you to stand
in as my late husband foreign partner the money was meant for. Because
I can not have direct access to the money from here due to agreement my
late husband had with the bank during deposit that the money is meant
for his foreign partner for investment, which he did not change before
he died thereby denying me direct access to the money presently.The
Bank Manager told me precisely that the money was deposited in a
suspense fixed account with a clause attached to it by my late husband
that it�s for onward transfer to a foreign partner account.He
said the money can only be transferred to a foreign account as in
agreement written and signed by them (the bank and my late husband). I
was advised by the bank manager to forward foreign account of our
foreign partner where the money will be transferred to where I can have
access to the money.Since security here cannot be guaranteed
besides, I've lost my husband, I hereby ask you to do me a favour by
standing as my late husband's foreign business partner and new
beneficiary of the money to enable the bank effect the transfer into
your account.I have plans to invest the money in continuation
with the investment vision of my late husband, but not in this place
again rather in your country. To realise ambition of my late husband, I
have the vision of going into real estate or any good investment with
the money. We can work together to make this happen if you are
interested and have investment knowledge.If you are willing to
assist me and my only son Ken, please indicate your interest by sending
your complete name, address, telephone number and account to use in
sending the money to you as our foreign partner when replying this mail.Thanks for your anticipated co-operation,Yours,Mrs Jennifer Kone.
