Subject: Hello Dear,
Hello Dear,
I apologise for any surprise which this mail might cause you as we did not know before. I am Lillian doudou from Cote D'Ivoire in West Africa. I am living in Abidjan the economic capital of our country. I am the only surviving child to late MR and MRS. BOGA DOUDOU. I lost my mother in an accident which occurred in my city, my father was affected as a result the accident, he suffered the sickness and later died in a hospital in my country. Presently, i am living in our country as an orphan and i am the only child to my parents. My late father was a well known supplier of agricultural equipments and wealthy cocoa march art based in our country Cote D' ivory formally known as (Ivory Coast).
I am seeking for your urgent assistance to transfer my late father's fund value ($8.9 million) Eight million Nine hundred thousand united state of American dollars which he deposited in a fixed suspense account in a bank in my country. he wanted to invest the money in a foreign country before the sudden death. Now I want your assistance to transfer the money into your nominated account in your country for investments purposes so that I can come over there to further my education while you will invest the money for me.
I have informed the bank about the transfer of the money but I have no person overseas where the money can be transferred, again due to my age the bank did not accept to handle the transaction with me until i present someone to represent me for the transaction, this is why I contacted you so that you can represent as my guardian and handle the transaction for me. I don’t want any person in my country or relative to know about this money transfer because after the death of my father, his wicked brother started to seat on his properties but he did not know anything about this money which I want to transfer. Because of his evil plans against me, I decided to ran away from my family house and hide myself somewhere in my country where he can not find me until I transfer the money to foreign country and finally leave my country. I have with me all the relevant documents about the deposit.
I am willing to offer you the 15% of the money as reward for your assistance to transfer the money into your account and help me come over there to stay and continue education.
I will furnish you with more details as soon as hear from you.
Thanks for your kind understanding.
Faithfully yours,
Lillian DouDou.
