FROM SABIN MIMI KONE
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE.

Dearest one,
It is a good a thing to write 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. Your profile that i saw on the internet pushed me to send you this mail.
I am Sabin kone,19years old and my junior brother Anthony kone died six months ago and we children of late parents Mr.and Mrs.kone O'Neal from a Royal family in Ghana.
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.Febuary 2001.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!
Our mother died when I was 13 years old,and since then our father took us so special. Before my fathers death on Febuary 12 2001 told me he has the sum of Eleven million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$11.700,000)left in one of the leading security company in Cote d'Ivoire.He made the deposit of the fund in a metalic trunk box as containing family valuable that belongs to a foreign partner.
He further told me that he deposited the box in my name as all the documents bear my name as the depositor,and for the company not to open the box he made the the beneficary as foreign partner.
I am just 19 years old and a university undergraduate and really I cannot handle the retrivemet of this fund alone without the help of a foreign partner .This is because
I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
The death of our father actually brought alot sadnees to our life.
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 questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your family ?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you ?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Through my private email box bellow for security reasons:(sabinkone20005@yahoo.com)
My sincere regards,
Sabin Kone.
