My Dearest One,
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since I can not be able to see you face to face at first. I am Susan Adams, Being the only daughter and child of my late father, Dr. Patrick Kona Adams. My late father was a limited liability Cocoa and Gold in my country Cote D'Ivoire
before his untimely death.
On his trip back from South Africa where he went to nagotiate for a new branch of his business , he was assassinated with our mother by his enemies (business colleages). My mother died, instantly, but my father died after five days in the hospital, on that faithful afternoon. I didn't know that
my father was going to leave me after loosing my mother. But before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die, my father(may his soul rest in perfect peace) he disclose to me that he deposited the sum of $7.5 million US dollars in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan Cote
D'Ivoire.
That the money was meant for his Cocoa and Gold business he wanted to invest in South Africa. he disclosed to me where he kept the documents issued to him by the bank and instructed me to seek for a life time investment abroad.
I have succeeded in locating the bank and confirmed the existence with most honest and confidentiality .
Now I'm asking for your assistance to help me transfer this money out from Abidjan to your account abroad so that we should invest it in any lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life. Your handsome reward is negotiable and I promise to compensate you greatly.
Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of this transaction. If this proposal is acceptable, please kindly reply me without delay as it requires urgent attention.
Thanks for your kind attention and mutual understanding.
Best Regards,
Susan
