Dearest One
With regards to you and your family. 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 pushed me to send you this mail, I am Rosemary Ojukwu,18 years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr. and Mrs.Robert Ojukwu
My father was a highly reputable business man (a cocoa merchant Importer and exporter of Agro allied product) 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 in February 2005. 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!
My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12, 2005, he told me about a box he concealed the sum of Seven million, seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$7.700,000) deposited in one of the
security company's here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa, which he disguised and declared the box to contain family valuables instead of money, by this way the company does not know the true content of the box. I have in my possesion the deposit document which the company gave to my late father
when he deposited the box with the security company. I really don't know what to do. 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 my father actually
brought sorrow to my life. I am in a sincere desire of your assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now
permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly and willingly help me as your daughter
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your country?
Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you
so much,
My sincere regards,
Rosemary Ojukwu.
