Dearest One,
I am Miss Iness Danjum 20yrs of age the only survival daughter of late Dr. Ben Danjuma who was wealthy Gold and diamond dealer in Abidjan Cote D値voire. Meanwhile my late father deposited the sum of $12.8m in a prime security company here in Abidjan Cote D値voire. The money was
package in trunk metallic box which he deposited it as a family valuable property. My parents died in a plan crash December, 2003 in Benin republic. You can find out more on CNN report www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
I will like to seek your assistance to transfer these funds in your country city and serve as a guardian in this regard. Now permit me to ask these few questions: -
1). Can I completely trust you?
2). what percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is transfer to your country?
3). Can you assure me of the confidentiality of this transaction, so that when coming in to your country there would not be focus of attention.
I will detail you more on how to proceed when I hear from you.
Yours faithfully,
Miss. Iness Danjuma. Parents
