Dearest one
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since telephone communication can not be suitable enough to communicate to you at first.time Iam Miss Rashida Banabas the only daughter of my father, late Mr. ALPHONSIUS BANABAS from Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa I am 23years of age.
My father was a limited liability of Cocoa and Gold merchant in Abidjan capital city of Cote d'Ivoire before his untimely death. After his business trip to Belguim and Italy to negotiate a cocoa and gold business he wanted to invest ,A week after he came back from Belguim and Italy, he was
attacked with my mother by unknown assassins. My mother died instantly but my father died after five days in a private hospital on that faithful afternoon. I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother.
But before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. My father (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) disclosed to me that he deposited the sum of $ 10,000,000,00 US Dollars (TEN MILLION DOLLARS) in a security and company here in Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire.
That the money was meant for his cocoa and Gold company he wanted to establish in Belguim and Italy though according to my father he deposited the money in trunk box but declared it as vital family belongings. He handed me the key of the box and the deposit certificate and instructed me to seek
for a reliable and trust worthy business partner for my lifetime who will help me to investment the money abroad.
Now I have succeeded in locating the security company here in Abidjan - Cote d'ivoire and also confirmed the items with most honest and confidentiality. Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me lift this money out from Abidjan to your safe account abroad so that we should invest it in
any meaningful lucrative business in your country because this is my only hope in life. Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the modalities of this transaction. Please kindly contact me through the above email address immediately for more discussion.
Thanks for your kind attention.
Yours sincerely
Miss Rashida Banabas
