Subject: I need your help
Florence Acka
Abidjan ivory coast
West Africa
Dear,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you.I am Florence Acka the only daughter of late Mr.and Mrs.Francis Acka My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan the economic capital of Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip.
My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father in a private hospital here in Abidjan,he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Twelve million five hundred thousand united state dollars(US$12,500,000) deposited in one of the Security Company here in Abidjan that he used my name as his only child for the next of Kin in depositing of the box as containing family valuables.
For your information,the security company did not know the real content of the box and I don't want them to know until we retrieve the box that contains the money from their custody and then arrange and transfer it to your account which you will provide.Because it was deposited as family valuables for security reasons.
He also explained to me that it was because of his wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice who will assist me for investment purpose.
I am honourably seeking for your assistance in the following areas:
(1)To stand as my late father's foreign partner before the security company.
(2) To serve as a guardian of this money since I am only 21years.
(3)To make arrangement for me to immigrate to your country and further my education and to secure a residence permit in your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful clearing of the box that contains the money from the security company custody.
Furthermore,as soon as you indicate your interest to proceed with me in this project which I believe that will be concluded within fourteen(14) days from the day you signify your interest to assist me.
Using this opportunity to thank you again while awaiting to hear from you soon.
Sincerely
Florence
