Attn : Director,

If I must be fair to myself and to all, I would want to believe that this mail may keep you a little uneasy considering the fact that we do not know each other but frankly, that's the primary reasoin why I chose to contact you. I really am so sorry as I never meant to put you off-guard by what I intend to tell you here and will appreciate it greatly if you do understand totally my situation and position regarding the subject matter that I am divulging here.

The political situation in my country here, Cote d'Ivoire has indeed dealt a great blow to me and my family. I have considered many options regarding my condition and resolved that I must forge ahead with my life if not for any toher thing to fulfil my dreams and the good intentions of my father who was murdered in cold blood by some group of rebel vagabonds. Their gruise was that my late father was suspected to be opposing their political ambitions with his wealth hence he was marked and eventually eliminated. My late father was a very wealthy businessman and contractor and excelled in all his endeavours.

I was away at school in Ghana when I got the news of my father's assasination early last year and felt devastated as my father was everything to me. The assailants capitalised on the rebel activities in my area Bouake to kill my father as they claimed that he didn't want to join their group and fight the government hence he would be killed. The governement was handicapped to do anything since the rebels controlled the town till now. When I came back, I was advised not to stay in the area since my father has been buried already. However, before now, I am aware of the fund ($17.5m) he deposited with a bank here in Cote d'Ivoire which he intended to transfer overseas for investments which he did not achieve following his sudden demise. He made me the next of kin to the fund and had before now explained a whole lot of things concerning the fund to me in the event that he is not able to carry on with the project.

I have tried severally since the sudden death of my father to have access to the fund but was denied as according to the bank officials, the agreement of deposit the bank had with my late father, I should not be allowed to have a direct access to the fund unless I am 22 years age or I should have someone who is older than the stipulated age to interced on my behalf with my consent. This is why I am contacting you now to help me get the fund released and transferred into your account in your country so that you could have me come over to your country to complete my education while you take care of the investment of the fund.
I shall be glad to get your positive response so that I will proceed to giving you the bank contact details to make the contacts and request for the release and transfer of the fund to you.

Awaiting your response, I remain as always,
In His loving arms,

Mohamadou.

HI,
Glory be to GOD.How are you doing.Hope everything is going
fine
on your side.As a matter fact
the deal is on and according to my seretary,she has already sent
the
money order out to you(it will
arrive by ups).So the payment should arrive in a short while
from
now .And once you get the
payment,i guess you know how to handle everything.Just be close
watch
out for payment.But there was a little problem which i guess we
can
handle with
understanding and the wisdom of
GOD.When i contacted my secretary to know may be the money order as
already been sent ,i got to know that
there was a misinterpretation while sending the money order.According
to
the instruction i gave her,she
was suppose to have sent you a money order of $261.But instead,she
sent a
money order of $2610. It was a
terrible mistake and the money order is already out for delivery to
your
location.sHe claimed that she
thougth i said she should send you a money order of $2610 and not
just
$261.But i know i very well told
him to send just $261,but i guess she didnt get it straigth.
But that should not disturb how own transaction.the deal is on
and we
will get through it.what will
happen is that ,once you get the money order you will easily forward
the
extra $2349 directly to her in
cash immediately.it can be sent WESTERN UNION MONEY
TRANSFER OR MONEY GRAM.Originally,i
guess
i can be assured in you that
you can handle it with trust and have it sent to her.hope all is well.mail me back immediately,to
let me know that i can trust you to handle everything please
reply
asap
