Dear,
The contact of your esteem personality was given to me by the Cote d'Ivoire Chambers of Commerce when I told them my intention of going into business relationship mostly in your country. They gave me your contact as a reliable and trustworthy person that I can do business
with and by their recommendations I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business transaction.
I am Mr samaja akam, the second son of late Mr and Mrs Akam, a very wealthy gold dealer/miner who owned three gold mines in northern Kwazulu natal province of South Africa. My father married two wives(my late mother and a Jamaican woman). My mother had two children, my younger sister and I and the other Jamaican woman had four children (3 boys and girl). When my mother died on 24th October 1987 immediately
after deliverance of my younger sister. My father took us so special because we were motherless. When my father died on the 29th October 2002. We the family (children) agreed to put all our father’s wealth together(including landed properties, some 180kg of gold dust and (US$6.Million) Six million united state dollars to share it according to
our birth rights on the 20th June 2003. But this Jamaican woman in conspiracy with her children tried to poison me and sister and I was once threatened with gun by her second son. So at this point in time I
felt we are standing the risk of loosing our lives because of wealth.
One night I decided to live the house, on leaving the country I broke into my father’s strong room and carried the box containing the US$6 Million which I considered to be the main reason they were trying to
kill us. My sister and I escaped through our common boundary with Botswana where I contacted an international property deposit company who conveyed us and the box to Abidjan, where we’re presently
residing. Although the property deposit company does not know
the actual contents of the box as it was deposited as family treasure (valuable item).
Sir, I am honourably soliciting your assistance in the following ways.
1) to arrange for a suitable college where we would
further our education as we are still under graduates.
2) To prepare a bank account where this money would be
lodged in after reclaiming it from the security
company for investment.
Moreover, you can indicate your option towards assisting us as we have mapped out 15% of the total sum for you as compensation for your assistance.May God Shelter and Care for you as you assist orphans
Sincerely,
samaja akam
