Subject: from me Mariam
Dearest,
I hope that this proposal will not be an inconvenience or embarrassment to you. I must not hesitate to confide in you this simple and sincere request business for our mutual benefit.
I am Miss. Mariam Adey the only daughter of late Mr. STEVE ADEY, the Director/ CEO of RUSTEVE HOLDINGS LTD, a Tutsi in Republic of Rwanda. I am 21 years of age. My father was a prosperous coffee and tin ore Merchant in Kigali, capital of the Republic of Rwanda, before his untimely death after his business trip to Abidjan - Cote d'Ivoire, to negotiate on a Coffee and tin ore business which he wanted to invest in Abidjan ? Cote d'Ivoire.
A week after he came back from Abidjan, he was attacked with my mother by unknown assassins suspected to be Hutsis who believed that my father has been given financial support to Tutsi Militia Rebels. My mother died instantly but my father died after five days in a private hospital. On that Faithful afternoon I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother. By the grace of God, I was aided by a business partner of my father through our church pastor in Kigali to escape to Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. But before my father gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. He, my father, may his soul rest in peace, disclosed to me that he deposited a huge amount in cash 10.500.000(ten million five hundred thousand dollars) concealed in a trunk box and deposited it with a Security Company in Abidjan which he declare and register as family valuables.
Because of the political problems between the Government and the Rebels (Opposition) here, my late Father signed an agreement that the consignment should only be released to a foreign trustee of my choice. So I want you to please assist me stand as my nominated foreign trustee and claim the box from the security company. That money was meant for the importation of machineries for his coffee processing which he wanted to establish in Abidjan? Cote d'Ivoire. Unfortunately he did not live to achieve it before he was gunned down. But since I have no experience or interest in this type of business he advised me to seek a reliable and trust worthy business partner who will assist me to secure and transfer this funds abroad strictly for investment purposes and safe keeping. He also advised me never to live in Africa before his death.
Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me to secure and transfer this fund to your account on my behalf and aid me to leave Africa. When I join you, we can then invest jointly in any meaningful lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life.
You shall be entitled to a significant portion of the fund which will be deliberated upon your acceptance to this offer.
Waiting anxiously to hear from you as to discuss modalities of this transaction.
Thanks for your kind attention and expected positive response
Yours Sincerely,
MISS. Mariam Adey
