Subject: Dearest One,
Dearest One,
Please do not be offended by this mail or the way I contacted you, it is about the only way I could get to you considering my present situation in which I found myself.
This, however, is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor it against your wish. My name is Elisa Balma, from Sierra Leone. My father and I escaped from our country at the heat of the civil war after loosing my mother and two of my senior brothers in the war. As a result of
the political instability in my country even after the war, my father established his cocoa and coffee export business in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
Before his sudden death on 20th March 2005 in a private hospital Abidjan, he called me on his bedside and told me about the money he deposited in a bank here in Abidjan City Cote d'Ivoire and he handed me all the vital documents as his only surviving beloved daughter and he used my name as the
next of kin in depositing the money. He advises me that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will invest the money.
I am in this country without any one knowing although I am on hiding so that the unknown people will not get me. I am only 21 years old Girl. I leave alone because I don't want the people who killed my late Father, to kill me too. I will be very happy if you promised me that you will keep this
secret until this money arrival your care in your country. My late Father deposited the sum of Twelve million Five hundred thousand US dollars USD ($12.5million) he left in suspense account in one of the bank here in Abidjan, It was the money he intended to transfer overseas for investment.
Because of the current political problem here in Ivory Coast I decided to transfer the money to abroad where it will be save and invested. Please I am contacting you for your assistance, to help me because I don't have anyone in here to help me and I don't have money to travel from here to
any country please I need your assistance to stand by me and help me to transfer the money to your account in your country for future investment.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please if you are willing to assist me, you will also provide investment programme where the money will be invested properly when it arrival your hand safely.
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Ms Elisa Balma.
