Subject: FROM ROSMOND.
WITH RESPECT FROM ROSMOND,
I am Rosmond Mendez and My sister Theresa Mendez Our parents Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Mendez were assassinated here in IVORY COAST.
Before my father's death he had US$5,000,000 (FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS) kept in a well concealedtrunk box and deposited with a security
company here in Abidjan. I want you to do me a favour to receive these funds
to a safe account in your country or any safer place as the beneficiary.
I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate and
industrial production.
This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me
and my only sister, indicate your interest in replying.
Thanks and best regard.
