Subject: YOUR URGENT RESPONSE IS NEEDED
From Susan Adams
Dakar.
Good day,
Pardon me for contacting you without any previous appointment,due consider this as a plea for assistance because of the ugly situation i found myself which compels me to contact you this way.I am Miss Susan Adams the only daughter and child of Mr and Mrs Achille Adams,my father was posioned to death by his business associates because of his wealth during one of his business meetings,his only trusted brother masterminded his poison so during the few days my father battled between life and death at the hospital he called me on his sick bed as his only child because my mother died when i was 8 years old.My father told me about the sum of US$4.8M he deposited in a security company here in Dakar-Senegal for safe keeping , 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 for safety reasons.My father told me he can not survive the sickess that if he dies i should leave!
Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire and come to Senegal to look for whom i trust to help me transfer this money out of Senegal for my future use and investment.All this discussion took place at his hospital beside before he eventually died.
I am just a student university undergraduate and 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 in Cote d'Ivoire.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in relocating this money to your custody as quickly as possible so that i will arrange my traveling documents to join you.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me ?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is in your custody?
4. Can you keep this matter only to yourself for safety reasons?
Please Kindly consider my plea as a helpless girl in need of your urgent assistance to start a new life.
Sincerely yours
Susan Adams
