GREETINGS!!!
Dearest One,
Good thing to write you. we have a proposal for you,this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail.
I am Raph Larry 24years old.the only son of late Dr. & Mrs Robert Larry and here also with my younger sister Janeth Larry who is 22years old. our late father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he felt sick in France during one of his business trips abroad last year and the doctor comfirmed that it was a poission and he later died after three days.
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 6 years old,and since then my father took us so special.
Before his death he called me and my younger sister on his sick bed and told us that he has the sum of three Million,five hundred thousand United State Dollars. (USD$3.500,000) compile in one metallic box and deposited it with one of the leading security company here in Abidjan Ivory Coast West Africa.
He further told us that he deposited the consignment with my name as the beneficiary,and finally issued a written instruction and also a legal documents of the consigment issued to him when he deposited the consigment to the security company and we have went to the security company and comfirm by the director that the consignment is intact.
I am just 24 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do,this is because we have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of our father actually brought sorrow to our dear life. we are in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly treat us as your children?
2. Can we completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you? Please,Consider this and get back to us as soon as possible.
Thank you so much as you read this mail comprehensively.
Best regards,
Raph and Janeth Larry.
