Goodday.
Dearest One,
I used this means of communications because of time Shortage, so please kindly bear with me, permit me to inform you of my desire. I have a proposal for you this however is not mandatory nor will i in any manner compel you to honour against your will but your profile pushed me to send you this mail. Actually i am miss Jessica Hammed, 23 years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. James Hammed.
My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet (a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously, he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their business outing. My mother died when i was just 9 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on 12th.Febuary 2004 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Two million, Three Hundred Thousand United State Dollars.(USD$2.300,000) that he deposited as family valuables items and belongings inside a trunk box in a security company here in Abidjan the economical capital of Ivory Coast, that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of kin in depositing of the trunk box and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the necessary but legal documents to this trunk box and
the security company.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer the trunk box and use the fund for investment purpose, (such as real estate management). I am just 23 years old and a high school leaving certificate holder, i really don't know what to do. This is because i have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of the death of my late father and the incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast, the death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly appreciated.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount will be good for you, after the successful shippment of the trunk box to you in your country.
God bless you while await your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely,
Jessica Hammed.
