My Dear,
It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I and my Son Mack intend to establish in your country. Though I have not met with you before I believe one has to risk confidence to succeed sometimes in life.
There is this huge amount of money totalling Eigtheen million U.S dollars($18,000,000.00) which my late husband kept for us in a bank here in Abidjan, (Cote D'Ivoire) before he was assasinated by his body guard. Now I and my son Mack decided to invest this money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for security and political reasons. We want you to help us claim and retrieve this fund from the bank here and transfer it into your personal account in your country for investment purposes in these areas below or, you can as well advice me on some profitable investments in your country.
1). Telecommunication 2). the transport industry 3). Hotel business
If you can be of an assistance to us we will be pleased to offer to you 10% Of the total fund.
I await your soonest response.
Respectfully yours,
Mrs.Joy Kabila
