My Dear
It's my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I intend to establish in your country,Though I have not met with you before but I believe one has to risk, confiding in someone to succeed some times in life.
There is this huge amount of money Fifteen million,Seven hundred thousand U.S dollars($15.7 millionusd) which my FATHER kept for ME in a security Company in ABIDJAN before his untimely death.
Now I have decided to invest this huge amount in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for security purposes.I want you to assist me in transfering this fund to your account for investment purposes in your country or any where safe for the investment.
So if you can be of an assistance to me i will be pleased to offer to you 20% Of the total fund.
I anticipate your urgent response.
Thanks and God bless.
Sincerely
Miss. NINA WILLIAMS
