Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.
Good Day and God bless as I introduce my self to you with all faith, trust and hope you will understand me to assist us and not to betray us at the end.
I am 20 Years old, my father died 2 years ago in a gold mine in MENDE, Republic of sierra Leone. He was into legal gold mining; he has succeeded in saving $28 millions dollars during his Business on Gold, before he went on a trip to Republic of Cote D'Ivoire West Africa near by country to our country to save his money for security reasons because of the political problem in our country.
I need help from you to help me transfer this money to your country for investment and who will be sincere to invite me to his country with out cheating me or doing bad to me on my arrival with my sister, I'm willing to give you 15% of the money after the transfer of the money, please mail me immediately so that I can know your stand before looking at else where. You’re the first person I’m contacting for this assistance.
Please permit me to ask, Can you honestly help me as your own person? Can I completely trust you?
Please, Treat this email confidential and get back to me as soon as possible.
Sincerely Yours,
Robert and Rose James.
NB; Kindly please I will be expecting your immediate reply.
