Hello dear
With respect and humility, I decided to send this proposal to you, this =
however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour it =
against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, I am Miss =
Costance Abbey 20 years old and the only daughter of my late parents Chief. =
and Mrs.Charles Abbey My father was a highly reputable business man (a cocoa =
merchant and suppulier of agro allied material ) who operated in the capital =
of Ivory coast during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his =
business trips abroad in February 2005. Though his sudden death was linked or =
rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled =
with him at that time. But God
knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me =
so special. Before his death on February 12, 2005, he told me about a box he =
concealed the sum of Twelve million, seven hundred thousand United State =
Dollars.(USD$10.400,000) deposited in a Security Company's here in Abidjan =
Ivory coast West Africa, which he disguised and declared the box to contain =
family valuables instead of money, by this way the company does not know the =
true content of the box. I have in my possesion the deposit document which =
the company gave to my late father when he deposited the box with the =
security company. The problem now is that I need someone to stand as my =
guardian and claim the consignment on my behalf. The company is not denying =
about the consignment, but the problem is that they want me to come forward =
with my guardian who will stand on my behalf before they release the =
consignment according to the agreement thereached with my late father. That =
is why I contact to please assist me and be my guardian.
I really don't know what to do now. This is because I have suffered a lot of =
set backs as a result of 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 assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be =
highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
Can you honestly stand as my guardian and negotiate with the company for the =
release of the consignment to you as my guardian? Can you assist me invest =
the money in it after receiving it, and also bring me out from here to your =
country? Can you come down here to enable both of us visit the company =
together ? Can I trust you without telling this to anyone else? What =
percentage will you take please.
As soon as I hear from you and you agree to assist me, I will give you the =
contacvt of the company and other information you need to contact the company =
as my guardian. I will also personally write to the company and inform them =
about you.
Please, Consider this and get back to me. I pray you find it in your heart to =
