Subject: GET BACK TO ME
Dear Sir,
Happy New Year to you and your family, my name is Maxwell Panola ,I am 25yrs old, I am from Ivory Coast , the only child of late Mr. Stephen Panola, who was poisoned to death by his friend on 24 December 2006. Now I will explain everything to you. My father was a contractor, my Father Company and Mr. Ken Company used to work together, so my father got a contract $22.m us dollars from the minister Charles Konan Banny, and invite the company of Mr Ken to team with him and do the job, because he dose have all the facilities to do the job alone.
This contracted was award to him since 4th march 2006 but the job was fully done on 16th November 2006. my father made me to understand because I am his only son that the profit they got in the contract is $9.5m us dollars, so they share the money between their selves 40/60, 40% for the company of Mr. Ken while 60% for the company of my father since he was the person who got the contract and mostly things they used to do the job belongs to my father.
After sharing the money with Mr. Ken, they have a very big misunderstanding; on 24th December he called my father to make peace with him, not knowing that he have bad intentions, but before my father went to that visit, he called me and took me to a place where he dig a very deep hole, when we got there, he told me that the trunk box that is inside the hole contains $5.7 m us dollars, that him and Mr. ken discussed to open company abroad with the profit they will make when they through with their work before they have misunderstanding . But he did not mention any country name to me.
I asked him, why he is showing me all these and also telling me some strange words, he said that I am his only child, and for the fact that my mother is dead and that he don't have other person than me, that he will tell me everything because I am man to represent if he is not around . So my father left to meet with Mr. Ken, about 4 hours he left our house I got a call from immaculate private hospital that my father was ill, that he was admitted there. So when I got there, my father was vomiting blood, I cried so much that I don't know where to start or where to stop.
But my father told me before he died, that he was poisoned by Mr. Ken that I should make sure that I roved the money from the hole where he kept it, to another place where only me can dictate where it is. That Mr. Ken wants to take both all the share that is why he poisoned him, immediately I did as my father instructed me. Now my father is full well buried, I decided to look for somebody who will help me in Dubai here, because it the only place I can invest easily without much problem since I heard that it's duty free and also Task free.
I am now in Dubai and I want to take my time in choosing somebody that will invest the money for me. As of now I am in my sponsor guest house but I did not tell him my mission to Dubai. Please send me your number so that I will call you for further introduction. I am counting on your help, but if you can not assist me, please let me know so that I will look for another person.
Regards,
Maxwell Panola.
