From: RICHEL RAMSON <rrichel_7@hotmail.fr>
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 01:01:24 +0000
Subject: From Richel Ramson
From Richel RamsonRue 6 BP 01 Cocody Abidjan Cote D Ivoire. Dearest one, I do apologize for approaching you in such a manner but circumstances forced me to contact you and I believe that you would be obliged to come to my assistance after hearing about my situation. I was formerly a medical student of the university of Abidjan, Cote d' Ivoire, the only surviving child of late Steven Ramson,my father was a politician and also very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates in collaboration with the rebels of my country on one of their outing to discuss on a business because he was the opposition leader of the government due to the political crisis going on in the country he became their enemy. My mother died on June 1993, my father took me so special because I am motherless, before the death of my father on October 2006, in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me many things including a sum of US$5,500,000(five million five hundred thousand, United States dollars) deposited in a suspense account with a bank in Côte d'Ivoire,that he used my name as the only daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund. He also explained to me that my uncles have a hand in his death because the refused to take him to hospital on time, they left him at home for 24hrs until the poison has really eaten deep his systems before he was taken to hospital and also gave room for the rebels to burn down our house and destroyed all we had. He said it was because of his success and position that he was poisoned.
Futhermore, he said that the environment was not conducive for me that they were after my life so I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management) and finish my education. I humbly need your assistance in the “following ways:1) To help get this money transferred to you.2) To serve as the guardian.3) To make an arrangement for me to come over after this money is transferred.4) To look for a good venture where the money will be invested. I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your effort and 5% for any other expenses you made after a successful transfer. Note that the confidentiality of this transaction would be highly appreciated in replying soonest. I await your response. Sincerely,Richel Ramson.
