I NEED YOUR HELP.
From Benson Koffi.Rue 6 Lot 12 Cocody Abidjan
Dearest ,
Mysteries has gone in my life. Life has become restless for me in this western part of Africa. 29th September 2005 later in the night the murders come without a pity without a mercy they kill my father in front of me.
My father was a wealthy Cocoa merchant.The trouble began early last year when my father's associates started suspecting that my father is not giving proper accounts of all the tons of cocoa being cultivated by local farmers in some villages. This mistrust deepens between Jul-Aug 2005 when they discovered a very big some of money my father deposited with a one of the leading Bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.
As a result of this discovery and the enviness of the money ,he was killed by his associates.Before this, My Late Father revealed to me the reasons of his being hatred.He directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit, he told me that he enrolled my name as his next of kin for the deposit, being the only child. He advised me that I should not stay in the country because his enemies might equally kill me to reap all his wealth hence my mother died five years ago of cancer.
He instructed me that if he dies, that I should look for a foreign partner who will help me to transfer the money into the person's account and the person will help me to invest the money in his or her country. My father finally died on 29th of September and since then I was out of school and went into hiding because of my father's associates. All the relevant documents of the $10.5 (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars) that was deposited in a Bank are intact with me now.
My name is Benson Koffi I am 19 yrs old and a student. Please I would require your urgent assistance so that I can move out from here before they kill me as they are tracing my hide out.I agreed to give you 30% of this money ,if you can help me bring out this Fund from the Bank and transfer this Fund into your account for onward investment in your country.
Please contact me immediately with my E-mail address and include your telephone number in your response to enable me to call you and speak with you and also to send you all necessary details as regards to the procedure of securing the money out from the Bank and transferring the money to your end account. Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free. I'm waiting for your urgent reply and do send me mail to this my mail address/ bkoffi11@yahoo.com
