Subject: FROM ALLISON ROGER
Dearest one,
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you,this however is
not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, my name is ALLISON ROGER i am 22 years old,I and my junior brothere are the only children of late Mr. ROGER My father was a highly reputable business man (a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips in abroad .Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been master minded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth!
My father took us so special. Before his death on nuvember 12 2002, he told me about a box he concealed the sum of Seven million, five hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$7.5) deposited in one of the security company's here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa, which he disguised and declared the box to contain family valuables instead of money, by this way the company does not know the true content of the box.
The deposit document which I have in my possession carries my late father name as the depositor, while I'm the next of kin on the same document.
And I really don't know what to do. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Sir, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Thank you so much and God be with you,
ALLISON ROGER
