Subject: Hello
Hello
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you. I believe you are a reputable and responsible and trustworthy
person I can do business with from the little information so far gathered
about you during my search for a partner and by matter of trust I must not
hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
I am MR FRED MOMOH 26 years of age the only son of late MR PETER MOMOH , my
father was who assassinated by the rebels during their attack in our country
cote d´ivoire and took over our town BOUAKE.
I ran to Abidjan the economic capital of cote d'ivoire from were I am
contacting you. Before the death of my father he told me that he has a sum
of $14,000,000 (fourteen million united states dollars) kept in a private
security company in Cote d' Ivoire in the name of my only son as the next of
kin.
Sir, in the capacity of the next of kin, I am contacting you with due sense
of humanity and
responsibility and with few awareness that you will give it a sympathetic
and mutual consideration.
Now that I am in Abidjan and verified the transaction, I need your
assistance to help me move this funds out of Cote d"Ivoire for investment in
your country as I cannot invest here due to our country's problem and the
war still going on here.
By this mail, you are now requested to arrange a visit down to Abidjan if
possible, so that we shall know ourselves and arrange on how to transfer
this money to your country.
But if you can not come down, then let me have your full details so that I
will plan on how to transfer this money out of Africa immediately for
investment in your country.
There is need for urgent actions because I pay US$100 daily as demurrage to
the security company for keeping this consignments.
Your services will also be required on advising me on proper investment
programs in your country after this transfer is concluded.
This is subject to my acceptances of whatever professional charges you may
required. Please treat this issue as confidential and contact me immediately
with the above private e-mail address for more information about this
transaction. I will offer you 20% for your assistance.
I am expecting your Reply to this my message immediately.
Thanks, Wishing
you God richest blessing
FRED MOMOH
