ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE.
WEST AFRICA
Dear Ahmad,
My name is Fatima Ali. I am from Ivory Coast (now called cote d'ivoire).I am 16 years old and a student. Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can before they kill me.
My father is a wealthy cocoa merchant here in ivory coast before he was assasinated as a result of business misunderstanding with his associates.
Trouble began when my father's associates began to suspect that my father was not making improper accounts of all the tonnes of cocoa being cultivated by local farmers in some villages here in Ivory coast.
This mistrust deepens between January-Febuary, 2003 when they discovered a very large some of money ( $5Million United States Dollars ) my father deposited with a Bank here in ABIDJAN-IVORY COAST. As a result of envy he was assasinated by his associates.
At his hospital bed before his death,my father told me the reasons for his attack and directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit.He informed me also that he used my name as his next of kin in depositing the money as i am his only child and my mother had died five years ago of car accident.
He advised me that in case he die, that I should not stay in this country because his associates would equally kill me.
He also instructed that if he dies, I should look for a foreign partner who will help me to
transfer the money out of this place (Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire), to his account and the person will help me invest the money in that country.
Based on this, I had to contact you bearing in mind that you will be humane enough to protect my life. I have been out of school and hiding because of my father's asociates. All the relevant documents concerning this money are now with me.
I will give you 15% of the total money, if you can help me transfer it into your account for
onward investment in your country.
Please contact me immediately with the above E-mail address and include your telephone and Fax numbers to enable me send you all the necessary documents regarding this money so that it can be transfered and i will come over to your country to continue my education and future life.
There is no risk involved in it because i have contacted the bank and they confirmed that the money is there.I'm waiting for your urgent reply and i pray that you will not abandon me after this fund is transfered to you.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Fatima Ali
