Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP
APPEAL FOR URGENT
BUSINESS ASSISTANCE.
Dearest,
I know this message will come to you as a surprise because you never knew me before. Nevertheless, I appeal to you to make time to go through my message soliciting your assistance so that you can help me out of this predicament. It is therefore, my pleasure to introduce this transaction to you.
I am Miss Mary Bamba; the only daughter of late Mr.and Mrs.Robert Bamba. 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 November 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of ten million five hundred United States Dollars ($10,500,000.00). That this money was deposited in a bank here in Abidjan and that he used my name as his only daughter as the next of Kin. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his busines associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice who will help me to transfer this fund for investment purposes such as real estate business etc.
Sir, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this fund
would be transferred into.
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am
only 22 years.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your
country to further my education .
Moreover, sir 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 to hear from you soon.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
Miss Mary Bamba. please reply to this address..
