Dear Respectful One,
GREETINGS,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into
business relationship with you.
I prayed over it and selected your name among other
names due to it's esteeming nature and the
recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust
worthy person I can do business with and by
their recommenddations I must not hesitate to confide
in your for this simple and sincere business.
I am Wumi Abdul; the only Daughter of late Mr and
Mrs George Abdul. My father was a very wealthy cocoa
merchant in Abidjan,the economic capital
of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his
business associates on one of their outing to discus
on a business deal.
When my mother died on the 21st October 1984, my
father took me and my younger brother special because
we are motherless. Before the death of my father on
30th June 2003 in a private hospital here in Abidjan.
He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that
he has a sum of $12.500.000 (Twelve Million, five
hundred thousand dollars) left in a suspense account
in a local Bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name
as his first Daughter for the next of kin in deposit
of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this
wealth and some huge amount of money his business
associates supposed to balance his from the deal they
had that he was poisoned by his business associates,
that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner
in a country of my choice where I will transfer this
money and use it for investment purpose, (such as
real estate management).
Sir, we are honourably seeking your assistance in the
following ways.
1) To provide a Bank account where this money would be
transferred to.
2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am a girl
with my hassan brother hassan here with me.
If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money
to your country, we will offer you 15%of the total fund, and 5% of the total
will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this transaction.
80%will be for my family to invest in your country under your supervision.
I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our correspondence. Your
immediate response will be highly
welcomed.
Anticipating to hear from you soon.
Thanks and God Bless.
Best regards.
Miss Wumi Abdul
NB: My Younger brother Hassan is also with me.
