May this mail find you well.

I am Dede Nkwah from Seirra-Leone I am the Son of Hon. Nkwah James who was the managing director and owner of NKWAH Import/Export company,NKWAH Logistics company and NKWAH Glass company here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire West Africa.

My late father attended the general meeting of all the import/export companies in the country and unfortunately he was poisoned by his business rivals and he later died in the hospital.

But before his death,after staying in bed for three days in the hospital,he told me that he deposited the sum of US$10,000,000.(Ten Million US dollars) in a bank here in abidjan on behalf of his foreign business partner in abroad and he advised me to look for a co-beneficiary from abroad to transfer these money to his account for investment in his country.

Presently,the members of his extended family has claimed all his companies leaving nothing behind for me,his extended family members also sent me away from our house and they seized all our house hold properties.

Based on my ignorance in the international business world of this sort,I hereby solicit for your urgent assistance as the co-beneficiary of this money, for the bank to transfer the money to your safe and secured bank account in your country.

For further proceedings as I wait for your soonest response. Please,I don't want neither third party nor publicity of any kind in this business transaction as I have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum and 80% will be for me respectively as you will also assist me to join you in your country as soon as this money is transfered to your account in your country for the investment.

Thanks in advance as I wait for your soonest response.

Yours Sincerely,

Dede Nkwah.
