Dear respectful one,
I know that this massage may come to you as unexpected since we have not met or known each other but I hope and believe that you will treat it with love and care.
I am Miss Stephanie Coulibaly the only daughter of late Mr Konan Jean-paul Coulibaly.My Father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan,the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discus a business issues Before the death of my father on 30th May 2006 in a private hospital here in Abidjan.
He secretly called me on his bedside and told me That he has a sum of $12.500.000(Twelve Million,five hundred thousand dollars only) left in a suspense account in a local Bank here in Abidjan,that he used my name as the next of kin in deposit of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose,(such as real estate managementand etc.
Please I need your utmost indulgence in this issue because of the current political crisis in our country of which everybody is afraid whether it may result into another civil war so please I need your urgent attention regards to the transfer of this fund into your designated bank account before it will be too late for me to regret my negligence.
Sir,I am honourably seeking your assistance in the Following ways.
1)To provide a Bank account where this money would be transferred into.
2)To serve as the guardian of this since I am a girl of 22 years old and I don't know much about business world or bank to bank transfer.
3)To consider me as your sister,daughter or your partner.
Moreover,I am willing to offer you 20% of the sum as compensation for effort input after the successful transfer of this money into your designated bank account in your country.Anticipating to hear from you soon.
Thanks and God Bless you.
Yours faithfully,Miss Stephanie Coulibaly.
