Subject: PLEASE HELP ME
From Miss Grace Martins.
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire
West Africa.
Dearest Respectful One,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your email contact through my special search for foreign partner and I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable
and trust worthy person that I can do business with and by the
recommendation I must not hesitate to confide in you
for this simple and sincere business .
I am Miss Grace Martins the only daughter of Mr & Mrs Koffi Martins from Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.My late father was a well known Cocoa,Gold and Diamond business marchant here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire before his was poissoned to death by his business associates in one of their business
appoitments.They poissened him to death because he was making progress in his business.
My mother felt seriously sick after the death of my father and she died in 8 months later which the doctor confirmed to be an heart attach.Before her
death she secretly called me on her bed side and told me that my father has the sum of Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (U$9,500,000.00) which he arranged in a trunk box and deposited in a security company here for security purpose before his death,that he used my name as
his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund.
My mother made me to know that he intended to use the money for invetsment abroad before his sudden death.She also told me that the security company here does not know the real content of the box because my late father never disclosed the real content of the box to them,that he told them that
the box contains some family valaubles and treasure.
My mother went further and advised me that incase if she did not survive the sickness,that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country
of my choice who will assist me to claim the box from the security company and use the money for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel management.It is now a year and six months that my mother died and I have now finally made up my mind to leave this country to a better
country where I will reestablish and further my study,so that is why I am seeking your assistance in the following ways.
(1) To assist me to claim the box that contains the money from the security company and get the money lodge in your account.(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 20 years old.(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.
Before contacting you,I went to the security company here with the deposit documents of the consignment which they issued to my late father when he deposited the consignment and I told them that I am now geting ready to claim the consignment from their custody and they told me that the
consignment is right presently in Europe,that they moved all consignment in their custody here to their affiliate office in Europe because of the political crisis that has been in this country for the past two years now.
The director of operation of the security company told me that they are ready,willing to release the consignment to me or to any person that I may authorise them to through their affiliate office in Europe.So your positive response towards this my proposal will enable me to meet the director for
more explanation on how they will release the consignment to you on my behalf.
Moreover, Dear,I am willing to offer you 15% 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 fourteen (14) days you signify interest to assist me. Anticipating to hear from you soon. Your immediate response to this mail will give me to courage to build more trust in
you.I will also want to let you know that this transaction needs highly confidential.
