Dear Respectful One,
Permit me to inform you of my present predicament and my intentions to you. I believe you are a reputable and responsible person I can confide with from the little information so far gathered.
I am Jen L. Kossa, born 1982. child of late Mr and Mrs Kossa, my parents were assassinated on the 21st of september 2002, by the rebels during the political crises that resulted to several rebel attack in our country Ivory Coast on 20th of September 2002 and took over our town BOUAKE. I ran to Abidjan the economic capital of cote d ivoire from where I am contacting you. Before the death of my parents they have already told me that they made a lodgement of a consignment containing the sum of $5,600,000 (five million, six hundred thousand dollars) kept in a safe company in Cote d' Ivoire in my father's name.
My father died at the age of 41 and a cocoa Merchant before his untimely death. In the capacity of the next of kins, and the only legitimate child of my parents, I am contacting you with due sence of humanity and responsibility and with few awareness that you will give it a sympathetic and mutual consideration.
After that unfortunate event, I managed my way to Abidjan and after so many efforts/enquiries i located the security company in question with their name as all document about that consignment transaction with my father was burnt and distroyed during the rebel attack.
Upon all these the general family of my father is putting too much presure on me to let them know all the secret investment of their son; and have confiscated all the houses in other saved areas; not excluding some other landed properties and bank accounts.This is because during the days of my parents, my fathert entrusted so many of his wealth under the care of his elder brothers and sisters. So they profited his death and claimed all that is at their reach. This is the intimidation culture practiced in my locality even after they have claimed all the houses in the capital, abidjan. I left them do that because they are threatening to kill me; so i left all the houses to them to save my life.
Now that I have succeded making the security company in question to recognise and accept that i am the next of kin to the consignment by presenting to them claims attached with some justice papers i obtained at the ministry of justice here in abidjan, because I lost all my id's during the rebels attack at Bouake town before coming to abidjan.
Therefore, I need your assistance to help me move this consignment out of Cote d"Ivoire for the betterment of my future in your country as I cannot carry up any plans. The political crises and rumours of war still going on here; Including the difficulties i am going thru from my father's brothers, sisters, uncles and nephews.
By this mail, you are now requested to arrange a visit down to Abidjan so that we shall know our selves and arrange on how to transfer this money to your country. But if you can not come down, then let me have your full details so that both of us will plan on how to transfer the consignment containing this money out of Africa immediately for investment in your country. Luckily, the family of my father do not know anything about this deposit.
There is need for urgent actions because the security company is now asking for a renewal of the agreement as their first agreement with my father have just expired for keeping this consignment. Your services will also be required on advising me for proper investment programs in your country as I intend in united state after the dislodgement and relocation of the consignment is concluded. Please treat this issue as highly necessary and valuable and contact me immediately with the above e-mail address mentioned with the body of the letter for more information about this transaction. Reply me this message immediately.
Thanks for your prompt attention
JEN L. KOSSA
