Dearest Friend,
Please permit me to inform you of my desire of seeking for an assistance from you. I know this email may come to you as a surprise, since we have not met or written before. Introducing myself, I am Miss Flora Jaliba, 18 years of age the only daughter of late Mr.and Mrs. Raymond Jaliba, 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 the date of 15th june 2006 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he deposited a sum of USD$6.450M (Six Million Four Hundred And Fifty Thousand U.S D) kept in a silver trunk box and was deposited in a Security company as family valuables here in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, that I should seek for a foreign partner to assist me in claiming and transferring of the consignment to your country for invesment purposes.
My late father explained to me that it was because of his wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should quickly seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where to invest the fund when released to us and use it for investment purpose which you may introduce me to.
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 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 fund 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.
God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Flora Jaliba.
