Subject: Please I need your Assistance
Dearest One,
I must be fair to myself and to you, I would want to believe that this mail may keep you a little uneasy considering the fact that we do not know each other but frankly, that's the primary reason why I chose to contact you. Really am so sorry as I never meant to put you off-guard by what I intend to tell you here and will appreciate it greatly if you do understand totally my situation and position regarding the subject matter that I am divulging here.
The political situation in my country here, Cote d'Ivoire has indeed dealt a great blow to me and my family. I have considered many options regarding my condition and resolved that I must forget ahead with my life if not for any thing to fulfil my dreams and the good intentions of my father who was murdered in cold blood by some group of rebel vagabonds. Their gruise was that my late father was suspected to be opposing their political ambitions with his wealth hence he was marked and eventually eliminated.
My late father was a very wealthy businessman and contractor and excelled in all his endeavours. I was away at school in Ghana when I got the news of my father's assasination early last year and felt devastated as my father was everything to me.
The assailants capitalised on the rebel activities in my area Bouake to kill my father as they claimed that he didn't want to join their group and fight the government hence he would be killed. The governement was handicapped to do anything since the rebels controlled the town till now. When I came back, I was advised not to stay in the area since my father has been buried already. However, before now, I am aware of the fund,(Four Million Five houndred thousand united states dollars.) USD($4,500,000) deposited with a Bank here in Cote d'Ivoire and he deposited the Money on behalf of his foreign business partner in abroad but he did not disclose the Name of the Business Partner to the Bank he only told the Bank that the money is for his business whil before his death he have made me to understaned that he just did that because of conficitication of fund by goverment
I will require your assistance in helping me stand as my late father's foreign business partner who he deposited the Money on his behalf in the Bank,
According to the director of the Bank. I will still go to the Bank and fine out more as soon as I hear seriousely from you.
I shall be glad to get your positive response so that I will proceed to giving you the contact of the Bank and the details to make the contacts and request for the release and transfer of the of this money into your bank account
Please kindly reply me through this my private email address ( aline_kona@yahoo.com) for more details on how to proceed.
Awaiting your response, I remain as always,
In His loving arms,
Aline Konan.
