Dearest Beloved,
Please permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I know this email may come to you as a surprise, since we have not met or written before. Introducing myself, I am Miss Mariam Dedeh, 18 years of age and the only Daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Moses Dedeh, My father was a Gold and cocoa merchant based in Abidjan (Ivory Coast), He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their business trips.
Before the death of my father on 2006 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of USD$6.100 (Six Million one Hundred Thousand U.S D kept in a silver trunk box and was deposited in a Security company here in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
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 to invest the fund when released to me and use it for investment purpose such as expansion of his existing cocoa business and real estate management or any business you may adivise to do in your country that will be profitable.
I am humbly seeking your assistance in the following ways: 1)To assist me in keeping this transaction confidential as I don't want a third party to know about it.
2)To serve as the guardian of this fund since I am still 18 yrs that knows nothing about business transaction.
3)To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education in your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful of the transaction, while 5% will be set aside to offset any expenses we may occur. Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within the shortest possible time if you signify interest to assist me.
God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Mariam Dedeh.
