Dearest One,
Permit me to inform you of my mind, I have make up my mind to write to 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. I will like to pray a short prayer before proceeding into details. May the Lord in haven who know's each an every one of us be with us, I pray for his mutual understanding and his infinate mercy be upon us and grant us favour for a great future Amen.
I am BESON KAMAR, 19 years old and the only son of my late parents Mr and Mrs KAMAR. My father was a highly reputable business magnet-(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 abroad year 12th November 2002. 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 just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on November 12/2002 he called the secretary who ccompanied him to hospital and told him to call me, on my arrival to the hospital my father told me that he has the sum of twenty eight million five hundred thousand US Dollars. (28 500,000 USD) lift in a security firm here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire West Africa.
He further told me that he deposited the money in his name, and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal document to all his properties.
I am just 19 years old and a University undergraduate and really don’t know what to do. Now I want an overseas partner whom I will move thie box that contain this money to his country for investment porpose. This is because I have suffered a lot of set back 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.
Now permit me to ask these few question:
1.Can you honestly help me as your son?
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 account?
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Benson Kamara
