I am the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs. Fredrick Kamani, my father was
a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of
Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on
one of their outing to discuss on a business.
When my mother died on the 20th november 1999, my father took me so special
because I am motherless. before the death of my father on 29th june 2002 in
aprivate hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bedside and
told me that he has a sum of us$22,000,000 (twenty two million united
states dollars) left in a suspence account in a local bank here in abidjan,
that he used my name as his only daurgther for the next ofkin in deposit of
the fund.
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. Sir, I honourably seeking your assistance and
idea.
I want you to serve as the guardian of this fund since I don't have any
idea of business and to make arrangement for me to come over to your
country and futher my education after the money has been transferred.
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 to your norminated account overseas.
Furthermore, you can indicate your williness towards assisting me as I
believe that this transaction would be to the mutual benefit of our both
families as soon as we successfuly conclude it.
Thanks and remain blessed as I await to hear from you soonest.
Yours faithfully,
Cynthia Kamani.
