Dear Director,
I am Mr. Decson Hosman from Ivory Coast. I lost my father Dr. Hosman Ahmed a couple of months ago 2004. My father was a serving Director of the Cocoa exporting board until his death. He was assassinated last january by the rebel forces following the political uprising.
Before his death he has a trunk box with a security company here in Cote d'Ivoire containing the cash sum of 18 millions U S dollars cash which he told the security company that it was only jewellries belonging to him and his foreign partner, I beleive he did it for security porposes.
I want you to do me a favour to receive this fund to a safe account in your country or any safer place as the beneficiary. I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and industrial production. This is my reason for writing to you.
Please if you are willing to assist me and my sister Amina, do not fail to always get to us through this our private email address below,

Thanks and remain blessed.
Sincerely.
