Dearest one,
I hope you will not be embarrassed receiving this mail as we have not had previous correspondences on this.I decided to contact you based on the clearance and assurance i got from website that linked you up to me.
I hope you will not impede the trust and confidence I repose in you. In brief introduction I am Mr. Eric Claim from Abidjan Ivory Coast, 24 years of age and my Sister Rita is 19 years old. We are the only children of late Mr& Mrs Fabian S. Claim, a cocoa merchant who was assassinated on the 19th of September, 2002 by rebel soldiers who tried to overthrow the elected Government President Laurent Gbagbo, in a military Coup detat.
My father went for a business meeting in the house of the Internal Affair Minister, Mr. Emile Boga Doudou when the rebels stormed the ministers house and massacred everybody in the compound including my father. We had earlier lost our mother in a car crash in the year 2001 on her way to San Pedro . Before this time, my father had earlier briefed me of a life deposit of five . five Million America Dollars (US$5.5 MILLION) compiled in one metallic trunk box (Consignment) he deposited in One security company here in Abidjan with my name as Next of kin / beneficiary.
The fund is highly protected in the Security Company . After my father's death, we are faced with many dangers from hostile relatives and business associates.
Who have no interest for our welfare but to over power us to claim our family properties.
Because of these problems, we have abandoned our residence and taken refuge in a Church here for the save of our life.
I succeeded in confirming the availability of the fund at the Security Company and I am appealing to you to help me and my younger and only sister_
as follows:-
(1) To help us transfer the(Consignment) out of Cote d'Ivoire to your foreign Country for investment purposes in a Lucrative business mainly real estates.
(2) To save our lives by helping us travel out of Cote d'Ivoire to your country to continue our lives as orphans because we may be killed if we stay and moreover there is political crises going on in this country now.
I hereby offer you 15% of the total fund as your compassion and any expenses will be deducted from the fund first before investing the Balance in any business.
The management and sharing formula on any transaction would be discussed in a future date.
I know how difficult it is for you to participate in this issue, but do it in the name of God to save our lives from enemies and the political crises.
Thanks and God bless you. Kindly respond through the above email address,but understand that the transaction should be treated confidentially.
Your faithfully,
Eric and Rita.
