Good Day,
I have a proposal for you however, it is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. I am John Kone.19 years old and the only Son of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Benson Kone My father was a highly reputable business magnet a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital city of Cote d' Ivoire.
It is sad to say that my father passed away mysteriously for food passion during one of his business outing on the 12th.Febuary 2005. Although his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by his younger brother who was with him. But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was 10 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on February 12- 2005 he called me beside his sick bed in the hospital and he gave me the key to his private room and instructed me to go and removed all the important documents relating to his business and deposit slip of Ten million Five hundred thousand United State Doll(USD$10.5 M) He deposited with one of the leading bank here as a and he further told me that I am the next of kin and beneficiary of all his business and properties including the money as his only Son if he happen to die.
I am just 19 years old and a student of higher institution and really don't know what to do now, since the death of my father his younger brother who was a suspect to my father's death, have confiscated all my father business and his properties and attempting to kill me too .
I am now out of my father's house, into hiding to save my life. I am only left with the deposit slip of the Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars in my procession I urgently need an assistance (foreign partner) that will help me to lift the trunk box to his or her country where the money will be properly invested. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly welcome and permit me to ask these few questions below.
1. Can you honestly help me as your Son?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for
you after the money is transferred into your account?
4. If you agree to help me we shall make a legal agreement that will protect both interest and you will help me to invest the money in a very good business that you know.Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you so much
My sincère Regards
John Kone
