Subject: Hello Dearest one,
>From Florence Kouadio
Treichville Abidjan Ivory coast,
How are you and your health that is very important to me? I am Florence Kouadio, The only child of late Mr and Mrs Kouadio, My Late father was a very wealthy Cocoa Merchant based in Abidjan, the Economic Capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his Business Associates in
connection with my uncle who was with him that day on the business outing to discuss on a business deal with some of his foreign business partner.
With bitter tears am typing this today,my heart is heavy of sadness and my soul is dying at my tender age of 19. My father was a very rich Cocoa Merchant here in Cote 'd'ivoire and he was a very popular man before he died,so when he was about to die he told me that he had some amount of huge
money (US 10.3m) ten million three hundred thousand United States dollars in his fixed / suspense account here in cote d'ivoire and he also told me that he wanted me to go abroad and study because l am a very brilliant girl .
He also told me that l should seek for a foreign partner that l should send the money to because for the fear of his family member and after the money is confirmed received by my partner in oversea l should then go there to continue my education while my partner should invest the money in
a very profitable business of his or her choice since l know nothing or less about investment and the profit must be shared between me and my partner so i am honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways .
1) To provide a NEW BANK ACCOUNT (please not your own account) where this money would be transferred.
2) To serve as the guardian of this fund.
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country.
Moreover, dear, i am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your nominated account oversea.
Please am appealing to you to please assist me so that l can smile again, l am writing this mail to you with full of bitter tears flowing down my eyes because l can say you are the only one that is left for me in this whole world.
Just yesterday my late fathers relative came and threatened me that they will kill me if l don't give them the document of my late fathers money so l went to bank where the money was saved to inform the bank director and the bank director told me that l should transfer the money abroad with
immediate effect as instructed by my late father so that this people
will not be able to kill me as they killed my Dad,the bank director said he will do his best to make sure that the money is transferred abroad,l need someone who will be truthful , loyal financial capable enough so that l cansend the money my late father left for me to, once you agree to assist
me by this time next week l will be waiting to hear a good news from you that you have received the money into A NEW ACCOUNT (please open a new account to avoid mistrust).
Please l will be waiting to hear from you if you're really serious and interested and capable to help me get this money transfer, so that l can send the contact of the bank where my late father saved the money before he died to you so that you can request for quick transfer requirement and
information which you will use to receive the money my late father left for me and please when you receive the money. please l will like you to keep it secret for the safety of the money and my life. More importantly, l will send the bank address to you and how you will contact them if you really
serious and capable to help me in transferring this money abroad.
I have the believe that one day I will become a person in life if you could help me out, I pray that God will also help you, (amen).
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
Thanks And God Bless.
Best regards.
Florence Kouadio
