Subject: To Your Kind Attention
From Miss Rebecca Stewart
N0,38 Rue Des Martyrs Cocody Abidjan,Cote d'Ivoire
Dearest Respected One,
I am Miss Rebecca Stewart 20 years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr and Mrs Laurent Stewart, my father was a highly reputable business magnet(a cocoa merchant dealer) who operated in Abidjan 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 year 12th Febuary 2004, 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.
God knows the best for me, my mother died when i was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special, before death came and steal him away from me, may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
When he was alive he told me that he deposited a trunk box in the custody of one famous security company here in Abidjan Cote Divoire that contents the sum of Twenty five Million United State Dollars.(USD$25.000,000)for safe keeping in a metalic trunk box, which he said that he did not disclose the content of the box to the security company as money but it was registered as family valuables for security reasons.
He furtherly told me that he deposited the trunk box in my name,which i am with the deposit certificate that the security company issued to him the day he deposited the trunk box in their custody.
I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate which i stoped furthering my studies because of my uncles wickedness,really i don't know what to do now, i want a realable and a trustworthy person overseas who will assist me financially and morally to get this trunk box from the security company because it is the only hope of my furture surviving, this is because i have suffered a lot of set backs in my studies as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast,conbined with the humulations and sufferings that i oftenly received from my uncles, honestly the death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life up to this date.
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 honestly help me as your daughter or sister?
2 What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the trunk box is delivered to your country?
3 Can you help me come over there in your country to live once you secure the trunk box so that i can further my studies?
Please consider this and get back to me as soon as possible thruogh this email addrees below for more details: rebecca38stewart@yahoo.com.ph
Thank you so much and may the Almighty God be with you for coming to rescue me from this urgly situation,
My sincere regards,
Miss Rebecca Stewart.
