Dear
Good thing to write you. I have a proposal for you.This however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am Miss Sarah Jones, the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Samuel Jones , My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a Cocoa Merchant, Diamond and Gold Dealer)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 2nd March 2007.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 4 years old,and since then my father
took me so special.
Before his death on 2nd March 2007 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Seventeen Million,Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars.(USD$17.500,000) deposited in Suspence Account in the Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire .
He further told him that he deposited the money in the Bank in my name as the next of kin and my late father instruct his lawyer to handover the Official Documents that covered the Money in the Bank to me .
I am a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.
Now I want a foreign partner who assist me to receive the money into his/her Bank Account for onward investment of the money.
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.I am 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 kindly tell me what the type of a profitable venture this fund will uesd to invest avoid waste of it.
2). Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
3). Can I completely trust you?
4). What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you ?
Thank you so much.
Yours Sincerely,
Miss Sarah Jones.
