GREETINGS,
This letter may come to you as a suprise based on the fact that I have not
had any previous contact with you. Briefly, I am Cole James Adams, 23 years
old, the only son of late Mr. Philip Douglas Adams former director of
Diamond Corporation who was murdered by assasins believed to be working for
his political enemies. Shortly before this unfortunate incident, my father
had informed me about an important business deal he had executed with some
of his colleagues in the office. He told me that he had diverted some money
totaling Twenty one million US dollars (US$21.M) which they had realized
from the sale of gold and diamonds in the black market. He showed me some
lodgement documents with which he had deposited the money with a prime bank
in Abidjan , Cote d Ivoire. He informed me in confidence that he is in
agreement with the bank that the money must be transferred to his overseas
partner who would soon forward his account information to them for the
transfer, as they proposed the money for foreign investment.
When the political situation in my country worsened, I escaped into Abidjan
, Cote d Ivoire and had since contacted the bank. identified myself properly
and informed them about the sad fate my father had suffered.I presented the
lodgement documents and they confirmed that they have this amount under
their custody. So I informed them that I intend initiating contacts with my
fathers overseas partner who owns the money so that he can contact them for
the transfer.
My decision to retrive and transfer the money now and to start a new life
forms the basis of this enquiry from you. I'm alone in this strange country
suffering without any care or help. without any relation, I am now like
refugee and orphan. My only hope now is in this fund my father deposited in
the bank. To this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the followings
ways,
(1) To assist me retrieve this money from the bank as my father's business
parthner abroad and co-beneficiary and they will transfer the money in your
country or any safe place you advice.
(2) To make a good arrangement for a joint business investment on my behalf
in your country and you as the caretaker
(3) To secure a college for me in your country to further my education and
to make arrangement for my travel with you to your country after you have
transferred this money to your account.
If you can assist me on these points above, I shall give you 20% of the
total money while setting aside 5% for all incidental expenses that may
arise in the course of actualising the transaction (such expenses as phone
calls, fax messages and taxes in your country if any) Please i need to
inform you that this matter is confidential, I want you to treat it as such
please.
Best regards,
From Cole James Adams
