Subject: From your dearest Mrs.Joy Kone
Dearest,
I am contacting you believing you are an honest and trustworthy person. I believe you will not betray the confidence I am willing to repose in you, for me to have contacted you even though we've not met before.
My name is JOY KONE the only wife of late MR.LEONARD A. KONE, who was the chairman of "Cocoa merchant farmers based in the city of "Bouake" the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire.
However on the middle of 2005 a group of so called rebells took over the city of Bouake to over-throw the Government of Mr. Laurent Gbagbo the President of Cote d'Ivoire. then on the next day morning at about 4:18am some fractions of the same group of rebells break into our my and killed our security guard and pass-through the gate entrance to the main building and took my husband away to an un-known destination.
Then, after about four hours later they find my husband at the road side, by then he was totally beaten and was bleeding to death lying in the pool of his own blood. From there, he was rushed to a near by hospital, and hours later he sent for me. And when I came to the hospital, he told me that he can not make it from the doctors diagnosis and he also told me that it is because he was not from the northern part of the country that he has been treated this way and also being a political activist. Again he said he is suspecting some of his business partners for that sort of brutality.
He then reviewed to me that he had a deposit with one of the bank in Abidjan and that he used my name for the next of kin for the deposit, and he reviewed to me where he kept all the deposit documents of the fund. That same day he (my husband) gives up the ghost.
..
I am contacting you to do me a favour to receive the funds to a safe account in your country or any safer place as the beneficiary. I need your help in management of the fund in your country. I have plans to do investment in your country, like real estate or hotel management, and I promise to compensate you well for you assisting me invest wisely in your country and make sure the fund transfer safely to your overseas account on my behalf and I come over to your country to be with you to enable me have a new life altogether.
This money is ($4.500, 000, 00) dollars and I have located the bank where the fund is deposited at Abidjan the capital city of Cote d'ivoire in fixed deposit.
Please, I will need your urgent reply so that I will get you all the information of the account and the deposit documents of the fund to enable you verify from the bank where the money is deposited on how the fund will be transfer to your account on my behalf.
I am waiting to hearing from you.
Yours
Mrs.Joy Kone
