Dearest.
Cote D'ivoire west
africa abdijan
Name is miss Joy BAMBA.I am the only duaghter to Late
Dr Johson , a top government official in
the republic of Cote d'voire. During the civil and
political crisis in our country, my father
together with my mother and other three of my brother were assassinated by
heartless elements that planted a bomb on my father official car. Fortunately for me and me, we i attended a wedding of a cousin in another town. We were still there when the tragedy took place. I was in coma for almost two weeks. But I thank the almighty God because I never knew that I could
support the shock of losing almost my whole family. That is by the way. Right now I am still here in Cote d'voire. but very unsafe for us. i am living in great fear and bondage. I intend leaving this country as soon as possible but only one thing that kept me back. My late father has deposited
with a bank here in the city of Abidjan a large sum of money meant for transfer. The money, $2.5Million USD, was meant for onward transfer to a bank in Switzerland. But unfortunately he did not complete the transaction before he died.I have met with the bank director who has certified my
claims to the money. I have the deposit documents, statement of account and receipt of deposit with which my late father made the deposit. So now I need a trustworthy person to transact with. I do not know you much, but and I feel I need to talk to you. It took me great pains and courage to make
this move because it looks stupid for me trying to confide in a total stranger I never met before . I want to transfer
this money to your country through your account or any
other account you may provide. By instinct I am
convinced you are an honest person and you have the
capacity to handle this transaction with me.
As soon as it is done, I will come over
to meet you and spend the rest of my lives in your
country. I wish to invest the money into estate
business and other good business you may propose. I
promise to greatly compensate you for any assistance
you may offer me. I do not know how you may feel
about this but I want you to take this very serious and confidential. Down here, I am living in fear because enemies of my father are hunting for me.
Please let me know your mind concerning my proposal
to you.
thanks may God bless you.
Your sincerely,
Joy BAMBA
