Subject: From Miss Yassine Toure
From Miss Yassine Toure.Abidjan. Cote D Ivoire,West Africa.
Hello dear,
I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Konan E. Toure. My father was a highly reputable business magnet who operated in the capital of Cote D Ivoire during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on the 12th September 2005. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of mine who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on September 2005, he called me privately in his hospital room and informed me that he has the sum of Five Million, Seven Hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$5,700,000.00) left deposited in an account in one of the leading banks here in Abidjan, the capital of Cote D Ivoire. He further told me that he deposited the money in my name, and finally gave me all the neccessary but legal documents regarding to the fund in the bank.
I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I need an honest and GOD fearing partner overseas whom I can transfer this deposit with his assistance and after the transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country till such a time that it will be convinient for me to return back home if I so desire. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Cote D Ivoire. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I also want to invest the fund under your care because I am ignorant of business world.
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 me from your heart?2. Can I completely trust you?3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the deposit is delivered to your care?
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Immedaitely I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform you more details involved in this matter.
Kind Regards,Miss Yassine Toure.
