Subject: Can I completely trust you?
I'm writing you this message with humility and respect for I know this message will come to you as surprise, first and foremost, a brief self introduction: I am Miss Sonita Henry 21years old, and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Albert Henry.
My father was a highly reputable business magnate (a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital city of Ivory Coast, during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad. On the 12th, Feb. 2005. Though his sudden death was linked by
an uncle of his, who travelled with him on that business trip.
Before his death on February 12th 2005 he called me, and discloses to me that he had a sum of $8 million US DOLLARS (Eight million USD) deposited in one of the famous security company here in Abidjan Ivory Coast, As if he knows, that he was going to die on that trip. My mother died when I was
just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special.
He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund with the security company as his only daughter, as well as the next of kin to the fund. That I should use this money judiciously to the best of my knowledge. In case of any eventuality. He also warns me not to let the security company official to
know about the money because he deposited the money as a consignment and declare it as a family valuables.
I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose.
I am just 21 years old and a high school leaving certificate holder and really don't know what to do.
Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this fund. This is because I have suffered a lot of set back 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 sister or partner?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you, after the money is transferred into your account?
I will like you to come to my country and see the security company. Dearest one, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible to indicate your interest in my proposal. Thank you so much and, I awaits to hear from you soonest.
My sincere regards.
Sonita Henry.
