Dearest,
You may be a little dismayed on receipt of this mail because of its unusual contents especially from a total stranger. Nevertheless, I would plead that you take the pain to study the mail before you draw your conclusion.
It is my pleasure to contact you for assistance.I am the daughter of Mr.Dramane Coulibaly and I will be glad to go into a business partnership with you.My father Mr.Dramane Coulibaly died as a result of political race during the political uprising in our country Ivory Coast.He was mysteriously assisinated by roiting youths who took the streets of our capital city Abidjan, which was revealed afterwards was plotted by his political opponents to eliminate him before our forth coming general election.
Earlier before my father's death,he informed me that he had nine million,eight hundred thousand US dollars ($9.8 M USD) deposited in a suspense account with a bank for the intention of sponsoring his political campign before he was suddenly assisinated. He informed me that he used my name as the next of kin when he made the deposit.Now I have decided to invest this money in your country since my father is no-more or anywhere in Europe where it is safe enough,mostly for security and political reasons.
I seek your assistance to get the money transfered to your account for investment purpose in your country.Also,I require your advice and guidiance in the area of investment of this money and to further my education as well because I am a student.
I am willing to compensate you with 15% of this amount for your efforts/input in the course of rendering me this assistance when the money is secured in your bank account.
Please contact me with my email address above.
Best regards.
Yours sincerely,
Stephanie Coulibaly.
