Dear One in lord
I am Mrs. Joy William from Ivory Coast. I am a widow
being that I lost my husband a couple of some years
ago. My husband was a serving director of the Cocoa
exporting board until his death.
He was assassinated January 2002 by the rebels
following the political uprising. Before his death he
had a foreign account here in Côte d'Ivoire up
to the tune of $18M dollars which he told the bank
that it was for the importation of cocoa processing
machine.
I want you to do me a favour to receive this funds to
a safe account in your country or any safer place as
the beneficiary so that i will came over to your
country with my only son. I have plans to do
investment in your country, like real estate and
industrial production.
This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you
are willing to assist me and my only son, my only son
is 25 years indicate your interest in replying
soonest I will ofer you 10% of the total money.
Thanks and best regards.
Mrs. Joy Williams and Son
