ABIDJAN - COTE DIVOIRE
REQUEST FOR AN ASSISTANCE
It is my pleasure to write you after much
consideration since telephone communication can not be
suitable enough to communicate to you at first.
Being the only son of my father, late Mr.Johnson
koffi from KWA-ZULU NATAL in Republic of
South Africa(SA)I am 22 years of age.
My father has a limited liability of Cocoa and Gold
merchant in JOHANNESBOURG South Africa before his
untimely death. After his business trip to Abidjan -
Cote d'Ivoire , to negociate on a cocoa and gold
business he wanted to invest in Abidjan - Cote
d'Ivoire. A Week after he came back from Abidjan, he
was attacked with my mother by unknown assassins,
which my mother died instantly but my father died
after five days in a private hospital on that faithful
afternoon. I didn't know that my father was going to
leave me after I had lost my mother. But before he
gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going
to die. He my father, MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT
PEACE he disclosed to me that he deposited the sum of
$ 8,000,000,00 US Dollars (EIGHT MILLION
DOLLARS) in a security company here
in Abidjan- Cote d'ivoire.
That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold
company he wanted to establish in Abidjan - Cote
d'Ivoire though, according to my father he
deposited the money in trunk box but declared it as
family valuables.
He single handed me the key of the box and the
deposit certificate and instructed me to seek for a
reliable and trust worthy business partner for my life
time investment abroad.
Now I have succeded in locating the security company
here in Abidjan - Cote d'ivoire and also confirmed
the items with most honest and confidentiality.
Now Iam soliciting for your assistance to help me lift
this money out from Abidjan to your safe account
aborad so that we should invest it in any meaningful
lucrative business in your country because this is my
only hope in life.
Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can
discuss the modalities for the transaction.
Thanks for your kind attention.
Yours sincerely
Mr. James Koffi
