Subject: PLEASE, THIS IS MY LAS HOPE, I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION FOR CONFIDENTIALITY
My dear ,
I am Akim Toon the only son of late Mr. and Mrs. George Toon. My father was
a wealthy cocoa and GOLD merchant in Abidjan; the capital city of Ivory
Coast, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of
their outings on a business trip. My mother died when I was a baby and since
then my father took me so special, before the death of my father on January
2002 in a private Hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed
side and told me that he has the sum of Nine million, three hundred thousand
US Dollars. (US$9.3M) and Gold left in security vault in a foreign city
which he deposited as family antiques. He also explained to me that it was
because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates.
That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I
will take the money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate
management or hotel management but I want to go into diary products. My
dear, I am honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
1. To provide a non-resident bank account to facilitate the possible
transfer of the money.
2. To serve as a guardian of these funds and for investment since.
3. To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and to secure a resident permit in your country.
4. To change the name of the deposited item and beneficiary to your name
since those responsible for the death of father the political affluence in
my country and are after my life but I escape to neighboring country and
will not want anything to be trace to me so they can't get any information
about me because I am living under disguise. Please, save my soul and help
give me a future.
My dear, I am willing to offer you 40% of the total sum as compensation for
your effort/ input after the successful transfer of this fund into your
nominated account overseas. Furthermore, you indicate your options towards
assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within
the shortest possible time, you signify interest to assist me. Anticipating
hearing from you soon.
Thanks and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
Akim Toon.
