Greetings from Miss. Anne Bates
Address: Plot 152 Bp Cocody
Abidjan Cote d棚voire .
Dearest one,
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.
I will like to start by introducing myself; I am Miss. Anne Bates, 20 years of age and the only Daughter of my parents late Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bates. 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$6.5M (Six Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.D) kept in a metallic trunk box and was deposited in a Security company here in Abidjan, Cote
d棚voire which he used my name as his only Daughter for the next of kin in depositing the trunk box.
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 any country of my choice where to invest the fund when released to us and use it for investment purpose such as expansion of his existing cocoa
business and real estate management or any business you may advise 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 without business ideal.
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to help me secure a residential permit 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.
Good Luck And God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Miss. Anne Bates
