Subject: From Miss Esosa and brother.
Dear Beloved,
It cost me much to contact you even when we dont know each other, I got your mail in the internet when it donned on me that I have to present a foreign partner to help me out of our country, and my name is Miss Esosa Mohammed Tanji a citizen of Serial loan. I and my brother want to come over to your country to finalise our education as situation has deprived us of furthering my education, we both stop schooling after the death of my father because my uncles have decided to be wicked to us since our father is no more, now my father secretly told me before he died that he made a deposit of some amount of money the sum of $10.7Million USD in a consignment deposited with a safe security company in Cote d ivoire that he deposited the money for the future of me and my brother Lugard, he made me to understand that the security company dont know the content of the consignment is money because he deposited and declared it as our family valuable documents and is non inspected.
He gave us the original documents and the full contact of the security company in Abidjan the capital city of Cote d ivoire and instructed us to run from his relatives to Cote dIvoire that his family dont like to see us, now we have called the security company in Abidjan and introduced ourselves to them now they ask us to come over to Abidjan for the claim of the consignment and that when we arrive we should present a foreign partner that will claim the consignment to a foreign country of our choice according to the agreement my late father entered with the security company if he is no more.
We are ready to move from Serial loan our country to cote d ivoire but we dont know any body there so we need you to stand as our foreign partner to claim the consignment to your country so that we will come over to finalise our education in your country and you will assist us in investing the money in good business, if you are capable of handling this please write back immediately with your direct phone number so I will call you to talk more about it so that we can boldly move to the country Cote d Ivoire were the security company is. Note we are no longer in our father house because his relatives really dont want to see us; we need your urgent reply if you are capable.
More details will be giving when you write.
Thanks wait your sincere and kind response soon.
Esosa and Lugard.
