Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire (West Africa).
Dearest , Good day.
I am using this means of communications because of time shortage,
so please kindly bear with me. However, permit me to inform you of my
desire of going into business relationship with you.
I am Mr. Donald Kumallo, the only son of late Mr and Mrs Alfred Nawal
Kumallo, My father was a very wealthy Cocoa and Gold merchant based
in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Cost before he was poisoned
to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss
on a business deal.
When my mother died on the 21St October 1994, my father took me so
special because I was motherless. Before the death of my father on
29Th April 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan.
He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of
US$ 15,000,000 ( Fifteen million United states Dollars) deposited
in a bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his only son for
the next of kin of the deposit.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign
partner in a country of my choice who will assist me in transferring
the money from the bank here to his/her account for investment
purpose, ( such as real estate management ). I am honorably seeking
your assistance in the following ways.
To bring out your heart and assist me, to serve as my guardian, to
transfer the money into your account and make arrangement for me to
come over to your country after the money has been transferred.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as
compensation for your efforts and contribution towards the successful
transfer of this fund to your nominated account in overseas.
Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I
believe that this transaction would be concluded in no time
immediately you signify interest to assist me. I will appreciate your
early response, so that I can forward to you the fund deposit
certificate that the bank gave to my late father the day he deposited
this fund.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Thanks and God Bless.
Best regards.
Mr. Donald Kumallo
