Subject: Can I completely trust you?
Dearest One,
In brief self introduction, I am Janet Cole ,23years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Benson Cole. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnate-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory Coast during his days It is sad ta say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Feb. 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2005 he called me and disclose to me that he had a sum of $10.5 million US DOLLARS (Ten million five hundred thousand USD)deposited in a suspence account with oneof the local banks here in Abidjan Ivory Coast
He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund with the bank as his only daugther, as well as the next of kin to the fund.Healso explained to me that itwas because of this weaith that he was poisoned by his busness associates, That i should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.
I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund,and also use it for an investment purpose.
I am just 23 years old and a high school leaving certificate holder and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your sister or partner?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible to indicate your interest in my proposal. Thank you so much and awaits to hear back from you soonest.
My sincere regards,
Janet Cole
