Dear Respectful One,
GREETINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your contact from the International companies web site directory. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to what my mind told me that you are a reputable and trust worthy person I can expose my ordeal to and do business with. So I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business. I am writing you this mail under humanitarian basis, and may God bless you as you are reading this mail with an open mind. Please I am very sorry for the embarrassment this mail might cause you, as we have not met before.
I am Miss Linda Samja, the only Daughter of late Mr and Mrs Raphael Samja My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal.
When my mother died on the 6th August 1996, my father took me special because I am the only child and motherless. Before the death of my father on 30th June 2006 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $10.500.000 (Ten Million, five hundred thousand dollars) left in a suspense account in a local Bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his only Daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the deal they had, that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing 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).
Please, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.
1) I will give you the contact of the Bank where my late father deposited this money.
2) To serve as my guardian of this since I am a girl of 19 years and I do not have business experience.
3) To help me come over wherever you are, as soon as the money is transferred to your account so that I will continue my education and my Future.
Extend my warmest regards to your entire family.
Anticipating hear from you soon.
Thanks and God Bless
Best regards
Miss Linda Samja.
