Subject: IN GOOD FAITH
Dear One,
Many thanks for your prompt response to my message, I appreciate your kind gesture to find time to give reponse to my message to you.
First and foremost and brief self introduction,I am Miss taalie Edword,23years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. lawrence Edward.
My father was a highly reputable busnness magnate-(a cocoa merchant)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 year 12th.Feb. 2003.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 11 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2003 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of $5.5 million US DOLLARS (Five million five hundred thousand USD)deposited in a suspence Security Company here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
He also said he used my name to Deposit the box as his only daughter, as well as the next of kin to the box. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.
I want you to assist me in retreive this box from the security company ,and also use it for an investment purpose.
I am just 23 years old and a high school leaving certificate holder and really don't know what to do.Now i really need your help to claim this box. 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.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible, as well I will like you to forward your private telephone and fax number if you are willing to have the relevant documents to confirm the existence of the box for verification from the security company and to confirm the authenticity of my proposal to you also for easy communication. pls you can contact me on this email here is the email
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Miss taalie Edward
