From: Patrick Kone <pakone12008@yahoo.fr>

Subject: Dearest One,
Dearest One,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your contact from the Cote d’Ivoire chamber of commerce journal and I am convinced that you will not disappoint me as I have prayed for God's guidance. My name is Patrick Kone the only son of Mr. Ambrose Kone. It is sad to say that my father passed away mysteriously in during one of his business trip abroad. Though, his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been master-minded by my uncle who travelled with him at that time and my mother died when I was just 4 years old and since then my father took me so special until his death.
Before my father gave up the ghost at a private ward in the hospital, he informed me that he deposited the sum of (nine million, five hundred thousand United State Dollars) USD ($9,500, 000) in one of the prime banks here in Abidjan, of which he used my name for the Next of Kin. Because my father was poisoned because of his wealth, he advised me to seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer the money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate or hotel management. And I am willing to give you 30% of the 9.5 million for this humble assistance.
Please, I am contacting you as a guardian, to assist me in transferring the money into your overseas account for the investment purpose and bringing me over to your country after the transfer. I am just 18 years old and couldn’t further my education as the result of sudden death of my father which has caused me a lot of set backs coupled with the incessant political crisis here in Ivory Coast.
Please permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. Can you serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 18 years?
4. Are you ok with the 30% percent interest?
5. Can you assist in bringing me to your country to further my education after the transfer?
Please I need your urgent assistance in helping me to transfer this inheritance due to the political crisis and the casualties I am presently facing in the country now.
Furthermore, please I want you to indicate your options towards assisting me.
I am anticipating hearing from you urgently.
Thanks & remain blessed.
Patrick Kone.
