I am Frank Williams. a stranger here in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire. My Purpose of been here in Abidjan is to claim the money US$ 18.4 million only which my late father Chief Williams and Rev Emmanuel Ochefu deposited in a bank account here in Abidjan before my father died in an accident on his business trip to Lome, Togo.
I was ten years old when my father and mother died and left me and now i am 18 years.Rev Emmanuel by the grace and mercy of God Almighty continue training me till last year before God call him to come and rest on his side.
But before he died, he call me on his sick bed and pray for me and handed over the documents and explain to me all the process he has gone with my late father concerning the deposit with the bank director. Telling me that my father made this deposit for my continuation of my carrier (Education). He advise me properly according to what my humble parent instructed him before their death.
May all their souls rest in perfect peace, Amen! However, I have also confirmed that the fund is still intact with the bank on my arrival here of which the bank director in charge of operation told me about the possibility to retrive the fund from their bank to any part of the world on the request of the beneficiary hence we can meet up with their requirement.
It is on this fact that I decided to contact you to stand as the beneficiary to my late father's deposit since the fund was deposited on behalf of his foreign business partner.
Therefore, I have made up my mind to invest this money in your country but I need urgently the following requirement-
(1) Would you be able to introduce me to a profitable business venture that will not require deep technical expertise and where taxation will not take great toll of the money transfer ?
(2) Would you be able to assist me to obtain my residential permit?
Please I will appreciate your good anwser to the above requirement to enable me estabilish a good relationship with you and your family. As soon as i read from you indicating your willingness to assist me, we shall talk about the commission/percentage for your sincere help to me in a good mind. I am looking forward to your urgent positive response.
May God richly bless you and your family.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Frank Williams.
