Greetings,
I am MARTIN BROWN, 21years old and the only son of my late parents CHIEF
WAYAS BROWN. 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 2004.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! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and
since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12th
2004 he called the secretary who accomp anied him to the hospital and told
him that he has the sum of Thirty Million United State Dollars (USD$30 000
000) which he deposited in a financial security vault and that I should look
for a foreigner that will help in secure the money.
I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know
what to do. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result
of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father
actually brought sorrow to my 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 I completely trust you?
2. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for
you?
Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely,
MARTIN BROWN
