Subject: Hello,
Dearest,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business
relationship
with you. I got your name and contact from the Ivoirian chamber of
commerce and industry. I prayed over it and selected your name due to its
esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and
trustworthy person that I can do business with and by the recommendation,
I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
I am Nadia Adams, the only daugther of late Mr and Mrs Joseph
Adams. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the
economic capital of Ivory Coast, my father was poisoned to death by his
business associates in one of their outings on a business trip.My
mother died when I was a baby and since then, my father took me so special.
Before the death of my father on July 2000 in a private hospital here
in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has
the sum of (Twelve million, five hundred thousand US dollar)(US$12,500,000)
which he deposited in a Bankhere in Abidjan, that he used my name as his only
daugther for the next of kin in depositing the money in the Bank.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a foreign
partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and
use it for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel
management.
I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred
to and assist me in retrieving the box.
2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 20 years old
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further
my education and to secure a resident permit for me in your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as
compensation for your effort/input after the successful transfer of
this fund into your nominated account overseas.
Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe
that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you
signify interest to assist me.
Anticipating hearing from you soon.
Thanks and God bless .
