Dearest,
APPEAL FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
I wish the best in life for you with every members of your family, and i hope you will receive this mail in good spirit and respond quickly with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. I am a born again Christian and I wouldn't like to deal with any body who does not have fear of God in his/her heart, hence i prayed God you be the right person I am looking for that will help me out of my present condition.
Please protect this mail for the safety of my life to avoid me being tortured or killed because of what my late father left for me. please i humbly beg you from the bottom of my heart and as one whom I believed that fears God to listen very carefully to my plea, the situation in my country is very critical and chaos, uproar and hostilities had brought the country to its knees,though the news flys about the new found peace between the president and the rebels,the true peace is still far from the ground. The intense pressure from the rebels in the northan, western and central part of the country had made the security of the country unsure.Sorry for burdering you with this.
Meanwhile, permit me to inform you about my desire to go into business relationship with you.I got your name and contact from the Ivorian Chamber of commerce and industry, I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person that I can do business with and by the recommendation , I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business .
I need all the help i could get from you at this very moment. I am David Amessah son of late Mr and Mrs Joseph Amessah. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan , the economic capital of Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to dearth by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip .
My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special.
Before the death of my father on march 4 2006 in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of seven million United State Dollars. USD(7M) left in fixed / suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only son for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel management
My problems started immediately after the burial of my late father.My uncles, both of them my late father's younger brothers seized all my late father's properties and shared it among two of them in pretense that they are to take care of it till i'm old enough to manage them.But before I could do anything,they have sold almost everything and started threatening me to provide my father's bank documents to them or they will deal with me.
All explanations to them that I do not know anything about the documents they are talking about means nothing to them hence they started treating me very badly,as a result,my late mother's only brother came and took me away from them and for doing this,he had to pay with his life for after some months with him he was murdered on a hot afternoon by a group claiming to be a rebel against the government.A note they droped beside him said he had to die for refusing to surport them.But I knew he was killed by the agents of my late fathers business partners in colaburation with my late father's brothers who wants to get at me at all cost.
After this insidence,I ran for my safety to an unknown destination.And have been staying in a hotel since then to avoid been seen by my uncles or their colaburators,my father's business partners.
I am honourable soliciting for your kind assistance as follows:
(1) to provide a bank account where this money will be transfer to for an investment purpose in a profitable out fit which you know best.
(2)to serve as the guardian of this money since i am a boy of 22 years old.
(3)to make arrangement for me in your country to continue my education career.
I am promise to offer you 15% of the total money as the mode of compensation for your effort to assisting me after the transferring this money to your nominated account overseas. Please i will be very happy if this transaction will be concluded quick.. I am expecting to hear from you as soon as possible and i will like you to give me your private telephone and the fax number in replying of this proposal.
If you are capable and know that you will truly and honestly help me as an honest person, please write me now hence time is no more on my side because i really want to come your country, to continue my education that is very, very important for me and also re-settle my dear life in your country. Please bear in mind that this fund is not a looted or stolen money but rather a legitimate inheritance from my late father.I have all the documents to prove this to you.
