ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE
Dearest One,
My name is SABIN MIMI KONE,the only Daughter of Late Mr.and Mrs. KONE O'NEAL from a Royal family in Ghana.I got your contact during my despirate searching, your esteem recomendation given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person.
My father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of IVORY COAST WEST AFRICA during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2004.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was 13 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before my fathers death on Febuary 12th 2004 told me he has the sum of Eleven million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$11.700,000)left in one of the International Finance/security company in ABIDJAN(IVORY COAST).He made the deposit of the fund in a metalic trunk box as containing family valuable that belongs to a foreign partner.
He further told me that he deposited the box in my name as all the documents bear my name as the depositor,and for the company not to open the box he made the beneficary as foreign partner.
I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate, and really I cannot handle the retrivemet of this fund alone without the help of a foreign partner .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 alot sadnees to my life. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daugther?
2. Can i completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible. Through my private email box bellow for
security reasons:(sabinkone@operamail.com <mailto:sabinkone@operamail.com>)
My sincere regards,
Sabin Kone.
