Subject: DEAR ONE
DEAR ONE,
FIRST AND FOREMOST HERE IS MY BRIEF INTRODUCTION,I AM
MISS ROSE TONY,19 YEARS OLD AND THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF MY LATE PARENTS
MR.AND MRS.TIMOTHY TONY,
MY FATHER WAS A HIGHLY REPUTABLE BUSINESS
MAGNATE-(A COCOA MERCHANT)WHO OPERATED IN ABIDJAN THE CAPITAL OF IVORY
COAST. DURING HIS DAYS, IT IS SAD TO SAY THAT HE PASSED AWAY
MYSTERIOUSLY IN FRANCE IN ONE OF HIS BUSINESS TRIPS ABROAD IN THE YEAR
12TH.FEB. 2003.THOUGH, HIS SUDDEN DEATH WAS LINKED OR RATHER SUSPECTED
TO HAVE BEEN MASTERMINDED BY AN UNCLE WHO TRAVELLED WITH HIM AT THAT
TIME.BUT GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH!
MY MOTHER DIED WHEN I WAS JUST 11 YEARS
OLD,AND SINCE THEN MY FATHER TOOK ME SO SPECIALLY. BEFORE HIS DEATH ON
FEBUARY 12 2003 HE CALLED HIS SECRETARY WHO ACCOMPANIED HIM TO THE
HOSPITAL AND REVEALED TO HER THAT HE HAD A SUM OF $8.5 MILLION US
DOLLARS (EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND USD)DEPOSITED IN A STORAGE
AND FINANCE FIRM HERE IN ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST.
HE ALSO SAID HE USED MY
NAME TO DEPOSIT THE FUND AS HIS ONLY DAUGHTER, AS WELL AS THE NEXT OF
KIN TO THE FUND.
THE SECRETARY IN TURN 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 TRANSFER THIS MONEY TO AND USE IT FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES.
I
WANT YOU THEREFORE, TO ASSIST ME TO RETREIVE THIS FUND FROM THE SECURITY
COMPANY ,AND USE IT TO INVEST FOR ME.
I AM JUST 19 YEARS OLD AND A
HIGH SCHOOL LEAVING CERTIFICATE HOLDER.I AM SO CONFUSED AND DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO.I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO CLAIM THIS MONEY. 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.
NOW PERMIT ME TO ASK THESE FEW QUESTIONS:-
1. CAN
YOU HONESTLY HELP ME AS YOUR DAUGHTER?
2. CAN I COMPLETELY TRUST
YOU?
3. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN QUESTION WILL BE GOOD
FOR YOU AFTER THE MONEY IS DEPOSITED IN YOUR ACCOUNT?
PLEASE,CONSIDER
THIS AND GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.ALSO FORWARD YOUR PRIVATE
TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ASSIST ME.I WILL IN TURN
SEND TO YOU THE RELEVANT DETAILED INFORMATION FOR AS WE
PROCEED.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
MY SINCERE REGARDS,
MISS
ROSE TONY
