Dearest one,
How was your day, I hope fine? it is my great desire of going into business and parental relationship with you. I am quite aware that my message will come to you as a surprise because it is indeed very strange for someone you have not met before to contact you in this regard. My name is Monique Kweku, from Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa the only son of late Alh shehu Kweku. He died mysteriously in France during one of his business trips Abroad year 10th.Oct. 2005. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been master-minded by a brother of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12 2004 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of this money is US$10.5 Million American Dollars and the money is in a bank here in Abidjan the capital city. left in fixed / suspense account in one of the prime banks here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only son for the Next of Kin in depositing of the fund.
Now there is a trace that it is my uncle that kill him, couple with what he is did to me recently so I decided to ran way from our family house to where I am now because wanted to kill me too to take all the properties. Without know that there is this Money with the bank. I contacted you so that you will help me and see that this money is transferred to you as my guardian so that you will help me to invest and for me to continued my studies. I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose. I am just 18years old and high school certificate holder; really don't know what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer these funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
I need someone to be my Guardian in life that I will look on to as my parents. Once the money is transferred, you will make arrangement for me to come over to you.Please can you be trusted? Do not be offended because of these question of mine. I am just curious to know more about you, because it is risk for me.
Can you honestly help me as your Daughter?Can you serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 18 years? What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Can you make arrangement accommodation in you home or a new Place for me to come over to your country to further my education and also to secure a resident permit in your country? Please let me know your mind and how sincere you are, everything will be legally done and I hope that we can realise this within seven Days. Please get back with the below details immediately you acknowledge the good receipt of this message. Full Name, Home Address and Mobile Number.
I am waiting for your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self please I plead you not to disclose it till I come over to your country after the transfer.I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation of your effort and 5% for any other expence you made after a succeful transfer.
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
