Dearest One,
With regard to your reputation and co-worshipper of God who will not disappoint me nor deny me in faith, I am directing this letter of assistance to you. I am Master Tango Burtley the son of Mr Burtley Kasere from Republic of Zimbabwe really in dear need to get somebody who will safe guard the interest of me and my treasure. Briefly, my father Mr Burtley Kasere was a Gold and Cocoa merchant who based in Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire and had a branch office in Accra Ghana.
My father was a wealthy Gold/Cocoa merchant who has business in many countries in Europe, America and Asian countries. According to my father, my own mother died when I was about six years of age which means that I did not even know my mother very well. The story is that my father Mr Burtley was poisoned to death by his business associates about some months ago, and he died in a private hospital here in Abidjan. But when he was about to die, he called me beside his sick bed and told me that he deposited the sum of four Million six hundred thousand United State Dollars (USD4.6M) in a security company firm here in Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire, this money was kept for me his only son. Right now I am here in Abidjan, the commercial city of Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa.
My problem now is that since my father has been poisoned to death by his business associates, I don’t even trust any other person here again and to this effect, I do contact you. Right now, I want you to help me in the following ways:
1) I want you to help me retrive this money from the security firm and then provide a bank account wherethis amount here (USD4.6M) can be transferred.
2) You are going to be the manager of this fund and also my personal guardian until I finished my studies as I'm just 21 years of age.
3) You are going to procure admission for me to continue my studies in one of the known university in your country.
4) That you must prepare immediately to make a working visit to Abidjan here so that me and you can see each other and we can then do the transfer of the fund to your account at the same time and I will go back with you to your country for the fund investment.
5) You are going to receive 20% of the total sum for your assitance to me. I appreciate if you consider my condition and help me, and I am willing to proceed with you as soon as I have
your response.
affter your reply to me i will send you the contact of the sicurity company so that you will dill direct with them because of my age,
THIS BUSINESS IS HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL BECAUSE NONE OF
MY LATE FATHER’S BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOWS ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION.
Waiting for your immediate response.(tango892003@yahoo.ca)
Thanks for your understanding
Master Tango Burtley.
