FROM: MR JOHN IFIDON
ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE
(IVORY COAST)
Reply to: jifidon_privatemails@terra.com.mx
DEAR UNCLE,
I WANT SOMEBODY WHO INSPITE OF NOT KNOWING ME MAY DECIDE TO RENDER ME A HELP
ON HUMANITARIAN GROUND. MY NAME IS JOHN IFIDON, THE ONLY CHILD OF MR. & MRS
B.A.IFIDON FROM IVORY COAST.
MY FATHER WAS A FAMOUS BUILDING & CIVIL ENGINEERING CONTRACTORS WITH IVORIEN
GOVERNMENT, ABIDJAN, IVORY COAST AND WAS POISONED TO DEATH ON 25TH FEBRUARY
THIS YEAR , 2005 BY HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATES IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR FAMILY
MEMBERS OUT OF JEALOUSY. AND SINCE THEN LIFE HAS BEEN
MEANINGLESS TO ME, LIVING WITHOUT PARENTS.
ACCORDING TO MY FATHER, MY MOTHER DIED OUT OF BLEEDING AFTER CHILD BIRTH IN
1997 AND SINCE THEN MY FATHER HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF ME AS A MOTHERLESS
CHILD.
BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER ON 25TH FEBRUARY THIS YEAR, 2005, HE CAREFULLY
REVEALED TO ME ON HIS SICK BED ABOUT BANK LODGEMENT RECEIPT OF SUM OF
US$15,500,000 (FIFTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS) HE
DEPOSITED WITH A LOCAL BANK HERE. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS MONEY
BELONGED TO HIM ALONE AND ADVISED ME TO LOOK FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER WHO WILL
BE KIND ENOUGH TO HELP ME TRANSFER THE MONEY INTO THE PERSON'S ACCOUNT IN ON
MY BEHALF FOR INVESTMENT IN CASE HE DID NOT SURVIVE THE SICKNESS.
UNFORTUNATELY HE DIED FEW DAYS LATER. IT IS THEREFORE BASED ON THIS THAT I
AM CONTACTING YOU NOW FOR THIS HELP.
HOWEVER, NOW THAT I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT FOR
INVESTMENT ACCORDING TO MY FATHER'S ADVICE, I AM HUMBLY REQUESTING FOR YOUR
HELP IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:-
1. TO PROVIDE A VIABLE BANK ACCOUNT WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE TRASFERRED INTO.
2. ACT AS THE GUARDIAN OF THIS FUND ONCE THE BANK TRANSFERS THE MONEY INTO
YOUR ACCOUNT.
3. ASSIST ME TO INVEST THE FUND WISELY IN REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT OR HOTEL
MANAGEMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY UNDER YOUR CONTROL AND SUPERVISION.
MEANWHILE, I HAVE AGREED TO REWARD YOU WITH 25% OF THE SUM FOR ALL YOUR
CO-OPERATIONS AND ASSISTANCE, WHILE THE BALANCE 75% BELONGS TO ME TO GO INTO
ANY INVESTMENT YOU WILL RECOMMEND TO ME.
HOWEVER, I WILL LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO ENTERTAIN FEARS TO RENDER THIS
HELP TO ME SINCE THIS IS A PERSONAL MONEY THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
GOVERNMENT OF ANY COUNTRY OR ITS AGENTS. SO PLEASE FEEL VERY FREE TO REPLY
IMMEDIATELY YOU RECEIVE THIS MAIL AS YOU ARE NOT FACED WITH ANY HARM OR
DANGER FOR RENDERING THIS HELP TO ME.
THEREFORE, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED TO HELP, PLEASE REPLY IMMEDIATELY YOU
RECEIVE THIS MAIL THROUGH THIS MY PRIVATE EMAIL BOX:
jifidon_privatemails@terra.com.mx. I WILL BE WAITING,PLEASE DON'T FAIL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT CONCERN. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR
ENTIRE FAMILY AS I WAIT FOR YOUR URGENT REPLY.
VERY BEST REGARDS,
JOHN IFIDON.
