FROM CHARLES MAXWELL.
RUE: 521 COCODY ABIDJAN
COTE D' IVOIRE.
Dear,
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration, since I cannot be able to see you face
to face at first. Being the only son of my father, late Chief Anthony Maxwell from Sierra- Leone
Africa (WA) I am 22 years of age. My father was limited liability Diamond and Gold merchant in
Freetown Sierra-Leone before his untimely death. After his business trip to Abidjan to negotiate
on a Good Investment business he wanted to invest in Abidjan.
A week after he came back from Abidjan , he got an accident with my mother of which my mother died instantly but my father died after five days in a private hospital on that faithful
afternoon, I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother, but
before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. Hi my father, (MAY HIS
SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) he disclosed to me that he deposited sum of 12,000,000,00 Million Dollars) in a security company here in Abidjan That the money was meant for his Diamond and Gold company he wanted to establish in Abidjan though, according to my father he deposited the money in a trunk box but declared it as vital family belongings.
He single handed me the key of the box and the deposit certificate and instructed me to seek for a reliable and trust worthy business partner for my life time investment abroad. Now I have
succeeded in locating the security company here in Abidjan also confirmed the items with most
honest and confidentiality. Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this money
out from Abidjan to your safe account abroad so that we should invest it in any meaningful
lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life.
I am willing to offer you 10% of the total fund if only you can help me out of my present
predicament. Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of this
transaction. I thank you for your understanding while I will be waiting for your immediate
response.
Yours sincerely,
Charles Maxwell.
