Matter of urgency from Solomon and Mary Abba
Dearest One,
How are you and every members of your family,I hope fine it is a Good thing
to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor
will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. Your profile
pushed me to send you this mail, I am Solomon Abba, i am 22 years old, the
only son of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.David Abba, while my only sister Mary
is just 18years old. our father was a highly reputable business magnet (a
cocoa merchant) who operated through out West Africa during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of
his business trips broad.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! our mother died when I was just 8
years old, and since then my father never hide anything from me.
Before he made the trip to france that lead to my misfortune(his death)He
called me,explained to me the reason why he will make the trip...and also
told me that he has the sum of Twenty Five million Five hundred thousand
United State Dollars.(USD$25.500,000)deposited in one of the security
company's here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa, which he disguised and
declared the box to contain family valuables instead of money,by this way
the company does not know the true content of the box.
The deposit document which I have in my possession carries my late father's
name as the depositor, while I'm the next of kin on the same _document_._ I
am just a student university undergraduate while my younger sister is still
is the secondary school and really i don't know what to do. This is because
I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant politicalcrisis
here in Ivory coast.
The death of our father actually brought sorrow to our 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 you honestly help me ?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your account?
Please Kindly consider this and get back to me as possible if you wish to
help, please i am sincerely in need of your urgent attention.
Thanks.
Sincerly Yours,
Solomon Abba and Mary
