Subject: Dearest one,
Dearest one,
I am happy to contact you with this short time and to request for your
assistance and also to go into business partnership with you, I believe
that you will not betaryed my trust which i am going to lay on you. I
am Kevina Williams , 20years old and the only son of my late parents
MR.and MRS WILLIAMS. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-
(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his
days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during
one
of
his business trips abroad year 12th.may 2004.Though his sudden death was
linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his
who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother
died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so
special. Before my father gave up to the ghost in hosiptal, he called
me secretly on his sick bed in the hospital and told me that he has a
deposit of sum of Nine Million United State Dollars.(USD$9. 000 000)
with one of the security agencies here in Abidjan. And he (my
father)reveiwed to me where he kept all the documents for the deposit and
he
used my
name for the next of kin in depositing the money. Now all the deposit
documents of the money are with me. I am just 20years old and a university
undergraduate and really don't know what to do. This is because I have
suffered a lot
of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
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 regarded. Now permit me to ask
these few questions:-
1. Can I completely trust you?
2. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for
you?
Please I realy want to relocate to your country with the fund and have
a new life altogether. I am tired of staying here. Pending on your
respond confirming to help me, then I will go to the security agency
where the
deposited the money in trunk box as family valuables , to tell them you
will be coming for the box as my late father's partner . please you
must assure me that everything i tell about this transaction will be
confidential untill the company hands you over the box . the company
does
not know there is money in that box . so everything i tell you has to
be confidential .please always contact me with this email address
(kevina11@live.fr)
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Kevin Williams
