Subject: Dearest,
Dearest,
My reason of contacting you is purely based on seeking
your assistance. To tell you more about me, I am 21
years old and the only child of my late parents
and I am living here in Abidjan,
the capital city of Cote d' Ivoire in West Africa.
I was a student at a university here studying mass
communication but the sudden death of my father forced
me to discontinue my studies because no one could
sponsor my studies again. My mother died many years
back when I was just four years old and since then I
have been with my father and he took me so special.
His death was so sudden and was caused by food
poisoning as the doctor said in his death
but we are suspecting one of my uncle who always
travel with him any time he is making overseas trip as
the person who planned his death, well only God knows
the truth.
The issue now is that I want to move out of this
country immediately to a more secure place where I
will live for the rest of my life because since the
death of my father, his brother's and other family
relatives have all taken over all my late father's
belongings including his business and houses and they
don't even want to consider me because I am a girl and
from their crude culture here, girls are not allowed
to process anything from the family until they are
married.
Meanwhile, before the death of my parents, my late
father told me that He deposited a truck box
containing $7,500,000 (seven million Five hundred thousand dollars)
with a security company in Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire where I am
residing now. I have gone to the office of the
security company with the certificate of the deposit
of this consignment and with the agreement that my
late father entered with this company to verify that
this consignment is still there but the agreement
states that I would need the assistance of a foreign
partner who will claim this truck box on my name since
I am still under-age.
This is why I am seeking your assistance to enable me
front you as my appointed foreign partner who will
assist me in claiming this box from this company. The
security company does not know that this deposited box
contains money because my late father registered and
tagged it as family valuables and art works for
security reason. Therefore, you are to keep the top
secret of this transaction until this truck box is
finally released and delivered to you. I am therefore
seeking your kind assistance in the following ways:
(1) To provide me with your detailed information
which includes, Your full names, Contact address and
your Telephone and fax numbers so that I can submit it
to the security company authorising them to recognise
and lift this consignment to you as my guardian
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am
only 21years if delivered to your address pending on
my arrival to your country for the continuation of my
education and investment in your own area of choice
since I am still a novice in the business world
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your
country to further my education and to secure a
resident permit in your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 20 % of the total
sum as compensation for your effort/input after the
successful release and delivery of this box to your
nominated address and 5% for any expenses that might
be incurred during the process of this transaction
making it 25% of the total money
I want you to indicate your options towards assisting
me as I believe that this transaction would be
concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify
interest to assist me. I assure you that this business
is 100% risk free as I will forward all the necessary
and legal documents backing up this transaction and
making it legitimate to you as soon as I hear from
you.
Hope to here from you soon.
Your's Sincerely One,
Debora Balakisa.
