Subject: FROM MISS RUTH
Dearest,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you. I got your name and contact from the Ivoirian chamber of commerce and industry. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trustworthy person that I can do business with and by the recommendation, I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
I am Ruth Rusanganwa, the only daugther of late Mr and Mrs Joseph Rusanganwa. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates in one of their outings on a business trip.My mother died when I was a baby and since then, my father took me so special.
Before the death of my father on July 2000 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has the sum of Eight million, five hundred thousand US dollar(US$12,500,000)in a trunk box as family valuables which he deposited in a Security company here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his only son for the next of kin in depositing the box and that the security company is not aware of the contents of the box.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a 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 or hotel management.
Sir, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred to and assist me in retrieving the box.
2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 21 years old
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a resident permit for me in your country.
Moreover, Sir, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account overseas.
Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify interest to assist me.
Anticipating hearing from you soon.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
Ruth Rusanganwa.
