Subject: from alice
Dear friend
Greetings to you. I thank God that I have come across you and believe you will not turn down my request. My name is alicekonme, I am 18 years old. I am from Bouke in Cote D'ivoire, west Africa. I became an orphan last year when my father and my mother were murdered in Bouke in the northen part of Cote D' Ivoire my home town. I was in school when the rebel new force went on rampage and killed people in the town suspected for supporting the government of Gbagbo. I was taken from the school by a good samaritan to Abidjan the capital city of Cote d'Ivoire, where I am taking refuge. I am now under the shelter of a church pastor who pitied my condition and decided to bring me into his household.
Since then, I have been searching closely on whom to trust and who wuill help me the transfer of $8,500,00.00 United state dollars which my late father deposited in a suspence account in a prime bank here in Abidjan . This fund is deposited to the bank for unward transfer to my late father's partner business partner in Europe before the lost contact as a result of the political crises in the country, seconded by his death (my father).
However, as I do not this foreign partner and his contact information and my condition is safe and conducive here now, I appeal and plead to you in the name of GOD to help me stand as my guidian and foreign partner to provide an account where the bank will transfer the fund into. Then after you have received the fund successfully, you will arrange to move me out from here to your country to continue my education while you manage the fund in profitable investment you may choose.
Dear, do I believe and trust in you that will not sit and betray me after the fund has been tranferred to your account ? Assure me confidentially so that I will send across to you the contact information of the bank for your verification.
As I do not have experience in banking system, I will like you to use your wealth of experience to handle this transfer. Also, I will like you to suggest on the likely percentage you will take from this fund for your aniticipated help.
Please endeavour to furnish me with your private telephone number and please you have to maintain secrecy to avoid people having eyebrows on the fund when you confirm it in your account.
I wait to hear from you soon,
Yours faithfully,
Miss alicekonme
