Subject: please try and reply to me soonest
please, i come to humble myself with all respect and honor to your personality hence contacting you for this work and i ask for an apology if my letter does not meet you in a happy day. I am called Andrew, i am immigrant from Sierra Leone because my father based here in Ivory Coast for many years, i decided to discuss this urgent and important matter with you today because i could not continue to be living this painful life, it has been difficult to me to speak this out due to the facts that my father has many enemies here, especially business friend's of his who turned to jealous him over his wealth, and i am mindful of what i say because don't want to put my life at risk. I will be very grateful if i could find confidence and security in you, this is why i am writing you to let you hear my voice and i believed that God will touch your mind to rescue me from this situation. My father was shot dead on a business trip in the town of Man, West of Ivory Coast when the Government soldiers carried a heavy military attack to the Rebel control zones in 2004 of which more than 200 civilians lost their lives and his death has brought pains, sorrow and agony to my future, i am being destroyed because i lost the only hope of my life, please give me a helping hand and i will always remain thankful, grateful and respectful to you in all my life.As a wealthy trader on cocoa and coffee exports, my father was worth the sum of 5,million$ in his account, (Please don't disclose this secret to anyone else, it is only you that I'm telling it). I am honourably seeking your assistance now to assist me to transfer this money into your country since your country is politically and economically better than this place. I also want you to stand as my guardian in investing this money into any lucrative business in your country and will also like you to make an arrangement for me to further my education once i arrived into your country. I am not selfish boy, all my desire is, i don't want my father's life efforts to be a wasted, if you could invest this money properly, i am ready to sign an agreement with you to be in partnership with me, all i need is success.Please, get back to me immediately and tell me your capability and experience to make this work.
thanks,
Andrew Davies.
