Message: Dear respected one,

I am writting you this letter with due respect and heart full of tears as i am in need of your immediate assistance.
My name is ALFRED KONE, 21 years old and the only son of late MR and MRS EDWARD YAO KONE, FROM IVORY COAST here in West Africa.

My father was a wealthy Oil dealer, well known in almost all over the West African sub-region before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings to discuss a business deal. My father took me so special being his only child (SON) after the death of my mother years back, and before the sudden death of my father two months ago in a private hospital here in Abidjan the capital city of IVORY COAST, he secretly called me on his sickbed and told me that he has the sum of USD$5,500.000 (Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars) deposited in one of the banks here in Abidjan, and that he declared to the bank on the day he deposited the money that it belongs to his foreign business partner who will be submitting an account information for onward transfer of the money to Overseas.

My father also explained to me before he died that it was because of some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the sales of Crude Oil that he was poisoned. My father advised me incase he died to look for a God fearing foreign person in a country of my choice, who can claim/stand as his foreign partner to enable the bank transfer the money out from Abidjan for my future life. So, i am honourably seeking your assistance to stand as my late father's foreign partner/beneficiary of the money for easy and immedaite transfer to your private or company's bank account,because i have decided to re-settle in your country to continue my education and for the investement of part of the money in any lucrative business you will advise for the benefit of you and me.

The Documents covering the money in the bank is intact with me, and i have made up my mind to offer you 20% of the total sum if you accepted to assist me.
You can also reply me via (gknn24@yahoo.com) for confidentiality.

Hoping to hearing from you soonest,
Thanks,
Yours respectful,
ALFRED KONE.
