Subject: THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER
Hello dear, Good day, I am Mrs. Margret Jones from Cote D'Ivoire, Is my pleasure to disclose this important issue to you. I lost my husband during the rebel attack here in Cote d'Ivoire in 2005, before his death He had an investment fund deposited in an account here in Cote d'Ivoire (IVORY COAST). I have been unable to reach or contact the business partner after my husbands death for the transfer of this fund, as i do not have any of his contacts. Based on this i seek your urgent assistance to stand as my late husbands business partner for the transfer of the fund as indicated by the bank here. However, he made a deposit of US $10.700.000.00 (TEN Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only). I have not told anyone anything about this, and this not a joke, please understand me and help me out. I have passed through a lot of trauma and emotional sufferings since the death of my husband. I don't know why i chose you for this, but i am of the believe that it is God's direction and he never failed me. This money was meant for the purchase of a new cocoa procession machine and another factory overseas, Unfortunately he did not meet his target before his untimely death. Since security here can no longer be guaranteed and I have lost my husband to the rebels. I seek your aid, to stand as my husband's business partner and the beneficiary of the money so that the bank can transfer this money in your bank account. This is the agreement he signed with the bank, based on the fact that the fund was an investment fund. And that its only his business partner should have access to the fund. The bank has given me requirements I should forward to them: 1, YOUR FULL NAME 2, ANY BANK DETAILS OF YOUR CHOICE FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE MONEY TO YOU. 3, YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER 4, AGE 5, OCCUPATION Please if you are willing to assist me and my only son Moses, indicate your interest in replying soonest.I really need your help in this urgent issue of mine. I will give you 15% of the total amount when the money is transferred into your bank account, and please keep this transaction to yourself, till the money is transferred into your bank account. I need us to have communication for more clarification. Yours faithfully,Mrs. Margret Jones.
