Subject: Dear Friend,My name is Mr.Zunzu
Dear Friend,
My name is Mr.Zunzu, the first son of the late Mr.Paul Zunzu who was a cocoa & diamond merchant.While he was still alive, he was so in love with estate development and was to organize an estate development business in Cote dâIvoire but he could not fulfill his dream because of his untimely death.
After his burial, his lawyer called me and handed over to me an envelop, in the envelop was an instruction that he made a deposit sum of $9.5 million US dollars with a security company in Ghana west Africa,the money is in a trunk box.He intended to invest the fund into an estate developer ,unfortunately he died on a car accident with my mother.
I contacted the security company to find out if the trunk box was still in their vault and I was told that it is still there and the instruction was that I the first son should come with my father's foreign partner to retrieve the consignment,because at the period of deposit my late father deposited the consignment as family valables own by his foriegn partner,so the security company does not know that the box contains money rather contains family valables.
On this ground I am contacting you to help me for the retrievement of the consignment from the security company and we can now lodge in the money into a bank for an onward transfer of the money to your account in your country.
I am waiting anxiously to get your reply of this mail so that I can fax all the necessary deposit documents given to my late father by the security company.Pls call me as soon as you receive this message for futher details.
Regards,
Mr.Mark Zunzu
