Subject: Dear Beloved one,
*Dear Beloved one, *
**
*Based on your profile, l am happy to request for your assistance because I
beleive that you are not going to betray the trust which I am going to lay
on you, Hope all is well with you and Other members of your family.*
**
*My name is Miss helen brown, 22 years old and the only daughter of my late
parents Mr.and Mrs brown. My father was a highly reputable busnness
magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during
his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during
one of his business trips abroad on 5th.November 2005.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!*
**
*Though I have not meet with you before but I believe, one has to risk
confiding in succeed sometimes in life. There is this huge amount of (four
million five hundred thousand) U.S dollars ($4.5m) which my late Father
Mr.Akairi brown kept for me in a Bank here in Abidjan. My father told me
that I should not let any of our relations to know about this because he *
**
*was kiled by them and if they know about it, that they will do nothing but
to kill me in other to take hold of every thing, He told me that I should
seek for a foriegn partner abroad who will help me to retrieve
this money and also travel with him or her in other to continue my Live and
Education and also to start a Business relationship with the person whom can
take care of me in the fucture *
**
*I am just 22 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know
what to do. this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result
of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father
actually brought sorrow to my life, My dear, I am in a sincere desire of
your humble assistance in this regards and your suggestions and ideas will
be highly regarded. *
*Now permit me to ask these few questions: *
**
*1. Can I completely trust you? *
*2.Can you accept me as your own blood Sister (Or Daughter)? *
*3.What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you? *
**
*Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible with your full
assurance that you will not disapoint me in this issue so that i can give
you the contact of the Bank where my late Father deposited the Money for you
to contact them on how to retrieve the *money *their Bank and tranfer it
to you in your Bank account,Thank you soo much for your understanding and
may almighty God bless you and your Family to the Glory of God Almighty, *
**
*My sincere regards, *
*Miss .helen brown*
