Dear Sir / Ma, It is a good thing to write you. I have a proposal
for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any reason
or manner compel you to honour against your will. I am marten elorry,
20 years old and junior brother Anthony Elorry the children of late parents
Mr.and Mrs.Elorry from a Royal family in Ghana.My father was
a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant)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 year
12th.Febuary 2001.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 ! Our mother died when I was 13 years old,and since
then our father took us so special. Before his surden deaththat took place
on Febuary 12 2003 he told me he has the sum of
Eleven million,seven hundred thousand United State
Dollars.(USD$11.700,000)left in one of the leading
security company here in Abidjan cote d`Ivoire.He
made the deposit of the fund in a metalic trunk box as
containing family valuable that belongs to a foreign partner.
He deposited the box in my name as all the documents bear
my name as the depositor,and for the company not to open the
box he made the beneficary as foreign partner.I am just
20 years old and a university undergraduate,my only junior
brother is 17years old and really we cannot handle the retri-
vemet of this fund alone without the help of a foreign partner.
This is because we have suffered a lot of set backs as a result
of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
The death of our father actually brought alot sadnees to our 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 honestly help us as your family ?
2. Can we completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you ? Please,Consider this and get back
to me as soon as possible. please bear with me and get back to me.
My sincere regards,
MARTEN ELORRY
