Subject: Dear hi
Dear=C2=A0hi=C2=A0
Our reason of contacting you is purely based on seeking your assistance. =
To tell you more about us, our names are Williams David and Sarah David. =
I am 22 years old while my younger sister is 19 years old we are the chil=
dren of=C2=A0 late Mr and Mrs=C2=A0 Donald David and we are living here i=
n Abidjan, the capital city of Cote d=E2=80=99 Ivoire in West Africa.
=C2=A0
I am a student studying mass communication but the sudden death of our fa=
ther. I forced myself to discontinue my studies because no one could spon=
sor my studies again. My mother died many years back when I was just 8 ye=
ars old and since then I and my younger sister have been with my father a=
nd he took me so special as the only son.
His death was so sudden and was caused by food poisoning as the doctor sa=
id in his death certificate but we are suspecting one of my uncle who alw=
ays travel with him any time he is making overseas trip as the person who=
planned his death, well only God knows the truth.
=C2=A0
The issue now is that I and my younger sister want to move out of this co=
untry immediately to a more secure place where we will live for the rest =
of our life because since the death of our father, his brother=E2=80=99s =
and other family relatives have all taken over all my late father=E2=80=99=
s belongings including his business and houses and they don=E2=80=99t eve=
n want to consider me and my younger sister.
=C2=A0
In my own case, my father was a business man who always export Cocoa to E=
urope and he made a lot of=C2=A0 money from this business and own lot of =
properties and houses, his brothers have taken control of all these thing=
s and they can even kill me too if I should ask about them. For this reas=
on, I don=E2=80=99t want to be associated with them again.
However, my father confided a secret to me before his death in a hospital=
here. He told me that he deposited a consignment in a security company h=
ere in Abidjan Cote D Ivoire, a Trunk box containing the sum of ($14,300,=
000). and no one knows about this, not even the security company because =
he registered the content of the box as Family Valuables.
He also told me that he used my name (williams david) as the next of kin =
in depositing the trunk box containing the money and also handed over the=
depository documents to me. He told me that it was because of his wealth=
that he was poisoned and that I should seek a trustworthy person in a co=
untry of my choice who could assist me to claim and invest this money.
=C2=A0
Dear Beloved One, this is the main reason I contacted you. I want you to =
help me claim this consignment/trunk box (CASH) from the security company=
here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire to your country and also help me and my yo=
unger sister to relocate to your country to continue our life over there.
=C2=A0
This country is no longer safe for my continual stay because every day he=
re I am living under the fear of those my late father=E2=80=99s relatives=
. We are no longer living in our family house because they might try to k=
ill us since they want to inherit all my late father=E2=80=99s properties=
. I am now living in a guest house here and I want to move out of the cou=
ntry
finally with this money and I need your help.
If you agree to help me, I will compensate you with 20% of the total sum =
and also you will manage these funds in any good investment while I will =
continue my studies and every income made will be shared between us. Than=
k you and I look forward to your positive response.
=C2=A0
Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.
My Sincere regards,
Williams David=20
