My Dear,
Compliments of the season !
I am Florence Marina Decotte from Cote D'ivoire .
I' being that I lost my parents a couple of months
ago. My late father was a serving director of the cocoa
board of
directors in Cote-d'ivore Abidjan until his death . He was
assassinated last
3 months by the rebels following the renewed political
uprising. Before his death he
deposited the sum of ( 4.5 Million Us Dollars ),which I have
the deposited certificates handed over to me by my late
father being money he acquired from cocoa exports. I want
you to do me a favour to receive this money in your country
or any safer
place. As the beneficiary I have plans to futher my
education and do
investment in your country, like real estate and industrial
production.
This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are
willing to
assist me , indicate your interest in replying soonest. I am
now in
presently residing in orphanage camp. I left my city
following the wake of departures of foreign
nationals residing in Abidjan.together with the sudden death
of my beloved father and the evil behaviours of my uncle
Thanks and God bless you for your consideration.
Miss Florence
