Subject: Your Urgent Assistance Please
From Miss Prisca Lawrence
Abidjan Ivory Coast,
West Africa.
Dearest,
It is a good thing to write to 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.
I am Miss Prisca Lawrence, 20years old girl and my junior brother Joseph Lawrence we are the children of late Mr.and Mrs.Lawrence O'Neal from a Royal family in Sierra Leone. My father was a highly reputable business merchant (cocoa merchant) who operated in Abidjan the capital city of Ivory Coast during his days.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Our mother died when I was 11 years old, and since then our father took us so special. Before my father's death on 15 June 2005 he told me that he deposited the sum of five million, five hundred thousand United State Dollars (USD$5.500,000) in one of the Finance/Security Company here in Abidjan the capital city of Ivory Coast. He made the deposit of the fund in a metallic trunk box as containing family valuable that belongs to a foreign partner.
He further told me that he deposited the box in my name as all the documents bear my name as the depositor, and for the Security/Finance Company's staff not to open the box he made the beneficiary as foreign partner.
I went to the finance security company for the box the finance security company refused to release the box because they said that they must respect the agreement they had with my late father that state, that (the box can only be release to a foreign partner overseas through his associate which he did not disclose any name to them.
I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate, my only brother Joseph is 14 years old and really we cannot handle the retirement of this fund alone without the help of a foreigner. This is because we have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant mysterious death of our parents. The death of our father actually brought lot sadness in our lives. 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 us as your family?
2. Can we completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you?
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Through my private email box bellow for security reason.
(miss_prisca_law012@yahoo.cn)
My sincere regards.
Miss Prisca Lawrence
