Subject: Hi dearest One
Hi dearest One
how are you together with your family? it is good writing you today however ,it is neither mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to go against your will. My name is Shantal Koneal.I am 22 years old, the only daughter and child of (Late) Chief Joseph Koneal.
My father was a highly reputable Gold miner in Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously during one of his business trips though, his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by my uncle who travelled with him at that time. but God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was yet a kid,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of US$10,500,000 left in one of the leading Banks here in Abidjan, Cote D'ivoire .He further told him that he deposited the money in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary and legal documents concerning this money in the bank . I am just 22 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.
Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this money into , this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of continuous political crisis here in Cote D'ivoire and family problems that made me to run away from my late father's house and hide myself in a local hotel for the safety of my life from the hand of my wicked uncle that killed my father and some other family members that are after my life because of this money.
The death of My father brought sorrow into my life. Dearest one, I am in a sincere desire of your urgent assistance .your suggestions and ideas will be highly needed, please permit me to tell you what i want you to do for me.
1. you will help me to negotiate for lucrative and legal investment where the money will be wisely invested,as you know that I am just a Little girl and don't have investment knowledge.
2. you will help me to secure a permanent residential permit in your country, for me to come over and continue my education while you will be taken care of the investment that will be set up by you. The most important of all is for you to be a good partner when the money arrives in your country.
I am willing to give you 20% of the total money after the money has been successfully transferred in to your bank account in your country for your assistance and for any expenses that you made during the process of the transfer . Is this offer OK by you?. Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible
Thank you for being there for me.
Sincerely,
Shantal Koneal
