I got your contact on my desperate search for a reliable person / company for partner ship investment overseas believing you are sincere and trustworthy person and of transparent honesty and capable of handling this transaction to the best of your knowledge for the mutual benefit of our both families. Before the death of my husband he disclosed to me about the total sum of $22.4 million US dollars he deposited under a suspense account with a bank Abidjan Cote d’ Ivoire . These funds represent the huge sales of Gold and Diamond he diverted while in office as the Assistant to the director general of Gold and Diamond mining cooperation in Harare. For security reason according to my late husband he made an agreement with the bank that his partner / beneficiary will come forward to submit his banking details for onward transfer of the fund to his account. My late husband advised me in case if he died that I should look for a foreigner who will stand as the beneficiary of the
fund so that the fund will transfer to his / her account for partner ship investment. Right now, I am in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire with my two children (Tony & Isabella) for the purpose of transferring this fund to a trust worthy account. Meanwhile, I am writing to know if you can stand as the beneficiary of the fund and also provide me your banking details so that I will submit it to the bank for the transfer of the fund for partner ship investment you will introduce in your country. Note that after the transfer to your account, you will then withdraw some money and send to us in under for me and my children to secure the necessary documents to enable us come over to meet you for the investment.
On confirmation of your interest to assist us, the certificate of deposit with the documents of the fund which was issued to my late husband by the bank on the day he deposited the fund will be forwarded to you for your confirmation and 10% of the total sum will be offered to you for your assistance while 5% will be set aside for any expenses that might arise during the transaction. Indicate your interest as soon as you received this mail, and note that this transaction needs to be confidential for security reasons.
God bless you and your family I am waiting to hear from you.
