Subject: Please Help Me And My Sister
From Joseph_Appiah
Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire,
West Africa.
Dearest,
It is a good thing to write to you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am Joseph Appiah, 20years old and my junior Sister Anita Appiah we are the children of our late parents Mr.and Mrs.Appiah O'Neal from a Royal family in Ghana. My father was a highly reputable business merchant (cocoa merchant ) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Febuary 2003. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time, But God knows the truth!
Our mother died when I was 13 years old, and since then our father took us so special. Before my fathers death on 12th Febuary2003, he told me that he has the sum of Eleven million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars (USD$11.700,000) left in one of the leading security company in Cote D'Ivoire. He made the deposit of the fund in a metalic trunk box as containing family valuable that belongs to a foreign partnner. He further told me that he deposited the box in my name as all the documents bear my name as the depositor, and for the company not to open the box he made the beneficiary as foreign partnner.
I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate, my only junior Sister is 17years old and really we cannot handle the retrivemet of this fund alone without the help of a foreign partnner .This is because we have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of our father actually brought a lot sadnes in our lives.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help us as your family ?
2. Can we completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you ?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Through my private email box bellow for security reason (joe_appiah5@yahoo.com)
My sincere regards,
Joseph Appiah
