Dearest One,
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since I can not be able to see you face to face now, I am Cecila Otondo, Being the only daughter of my late father, Dr. Chris Otondo. My late father was a limited liability Cocoa and Gold merchant based in Republic of South Africa before his untimely death,fter his business trip to Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.
A week after he came back from his trip , he was assassinated with my mother by his enemies (business colleages). Which my mother died instantly, but my father died after five days in the hospital, on that faithful afternoon. I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after loosing 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) told me about his properties and assets in and outside my country. Among these is a sealed box containing the sum of US$8.5Million with some valuable items and other properties which I could not lay my hands on because my relatives have collabrated to seize all except the box money they do not know about.
According to my late father,he wanted to use the money for investment purpose outside our country. He lodged the box money under the costudy of a safe deposite security company in the republic of Cote D'Ivoire, he gave me the contact of the company and the documents covering the box issued to him by the company.
He made me to understand that the security company does not aware of the money content of the box because he decleared them as containing only Gold and family valuable properties for security reasons best known to him.
I have succeeded in locating the security company and confirmed the existence with most honesty and confidentiality . It is in respect of this particular box money I am contacting you to help me in the process of retreival and transfer to your country for investment purpose into a lucrative business as this is my only hope in life.Your handsome reward is negotiable and I promise to compensate you greatly.
If this proposal is acceptable, please kindly contact me through e-mail address immediately for more details. Thanks for your kind attention and mutual understanding.
Best Regards,
Cecil
