Subject: Waiting For Your Response
Dear Beloved,
Complements of the season.
This is not really to cause you any type of embarrassment as we are completely strangers to each other, My name is Mrs. Sylvie Kiros. The wife of late Mr. James T. Kiros who was the Cocoa exporting director here in Ivory Coast before he died in the year 2005. We were married for twenty years with one child called Johnson who is 16 year old. When my husband was alive we deposited the sum of Six Million United state Dollars (USD$6,000,000.00) with a Security Company, Presently this money is still in the Security Company, but my worried is recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Two months due to my cancer Sickness and stroke condition, which has made this life uncomfortable and miserable for me. I need a Godly person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct, to use some part of the money for charity and orphanage and to invest the rest of the money for good business in your country for my son's better future. I also took this decision because my husband relatives are not honest with my husband when he was alive, they are enemies of progress and they don’t have the fear of God in them, they are not Godly and I have to avoid them having any idea about this fund. I want my son to inherit this money but he can not carry out this alone due to his younger age with his low mentality and to keep away from any mistake of my late husbands relatives having any idea of this deposit because the are always around us to monitor our movements to see if there is still any hidden treasure, property or money. This is why I take this bold decision to contact you personally as a foreigner for assistance, so that the Company can transfer the money out of this Country in your name as my foreign partner once I present you. As soon as I hear from you I shall give you more information you need to know about this fund and the next step to take. Please I want you and your family to always pray for my healing and to always be prayerful to God in all the days of your life. The God is our strength and with God all things are possible. I will be expecting to hear from you soonest. Sincerely, Mrs. Sylvie Kiros.
