Hello My Dear
How are you doing today, I hope you are doing fine. I hope and i know that this email that I am sending to you would be reaching you in good health? I want to tell you something very important, though I am not suppose to tell you now because we haven't meet before but I know that you would be of
good help to me, But I think I need to tell you this, Because I think you may be a nice person because when I was sending you this mail,I felt you are a nice and caring person. And I think you can help me in this too, this is why I am telling you this. All I want you to do is to keep this as a
top secret between us. and also promise me that no other person will hear this okay. Right now am really going through hard and terrible life here.
Actually it happened when I lost my dad, my dad is dead and my mother died when i was a baby I am left alone. So after the death of my father, Our family member came to the house and collected everything my dad left behind for me, and they ask me to leave the compound and sold the house. I
could not able to find them again because of the war that happened in my country Ivory Coast, Before the death of my father he told me that he made the next of kin of a fund, he deposited the sum of $2.5million us dollars in the bank here,
I went to the bank and confirm that my father really make me the next kin of this money, Now I want to transfer the money into your account in your country because the people that killed my father is after my life now to make sure that our family are drastically whipped off. Infact as I am
writing to you now I am in hiding in one of the guest house here .Please if you can help to save my life and transfer the this fund to your account .
So I am with some documents which my dad use to deposit the Fund in a bank here in our Country and also a picture of my dad at the time of sign the agreement letter with the bank and he use my name as the next of kin to the funds. So I will show it to you as soon as you promised to help me, I
will be so happy to come to your Country as soon as the Fund transfer into your account for me to continue my Education.
When I get to the bank and I presented all the legal documents that was given to my father at the time of depositing the fund with the bank, I was told that the money is still with the bank, But they cannot release the money to me here in our Country, Because my dad went into an agreement with
them at the time of depositing the fund that the fund should be transferred on express transfer to leave our Country Ivory Coast. I never knew my dad was planning of opening a company abroad, So on my way out of the bank one of the staff of the bank advice me to look for a trust worthy foreign
partner to help me receive the funds from the bank. So I want you to help us contact the bank, so that the bank can transfer the money of my late father to you, So that I can come over to your country and meet you so we all can start a better and happy life again.
Please, I want you to understand that I trust you and I know you can help me because I am upset through hard moments here in Ivory Coast, I am a beautiful girl and so when people see me they don't know the condition that I am undergoing due the reason that I don't want people to know the stress
and pains I am here in our Country, and then I meet and live life to the fullest, and I feel we can be together if it is meant to be, that is why am telling you this top secret because am sacred and this is all I have left in this world. I believe you can understand my present situation. I trust
you that is why I am telling you this. as am
writing you this mail, my eyes is full of tears because am seriously sick and I don't know any body here in Ivory Coast. So I am living in a guest house called Declux Guest House.
I really need your help. Life is so hard and terrible for me right now in Ivory Coast because I don't have any helper. I think I've truly been blessed by finding you and I 'll never let you go away from my life. I will want you to understand that we are going to sign an agreement before the bank
will transfer the fund of my late father to you because I have not meet before now and the Agreement is for the security reason of the funds too. So I will like you to provide this information so that I can get the Agreement done from a lawyer here in Ivory Coast, and send you a copy of it to
sign. So please reply me with your, Full name, Age, Occupation and address. My promise to give to you 20% percent if you can help us get the money from the bank.
I will send you my picture , My late father at the time of depositing the fund with the bank here in Ivory Coast and a picture of my late father casket during burial ceremony, and I am also sending to you a picture of myself. When i receive a reply from you so that i can send to you the legal
documents that was given to my father at the time of depositing the fund with the bank.
I hope to hear from you soon. God bless you.
