Subject: PLEASE TREAT AS URGENT.

Dear Sir,

I know this mail will come to you as a surprise since we have not had earlier correspondence about my aim of contacting you now. Please, try to understand with me. i will really and sincerely appreciate it.

I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my situation here. Sir, i believe that you are the kind of person i can talk to and trust with my heart and believe you will not fail me. I am Miss Pauline Herman, 25 years old girl from Ivory Coast, never married, 5.6ft tall, fair in complexion and the only child of Late Mr. Herman Aka.(My Father)

My late father was the former minister for aviation under the leadership of former president of Ivory coast Laurent Gbagbo, who is now in the Custody of International Criminal Court (ICC) where he is now facing many court charges ranging from manslaughter, murder, mismanagement after many innocent soul were killed in my country Ivory Coast crisis. My father was killed by government of Laurent Gbagbo, He accused my father of coup attempt when he found out that my father is not in support of all his wicked practices.

I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment i am receiving from my step-mother. She planned to take away all my late father's treasury after she has taken all the landed properties even houses from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father. Meanwhile, I wanted to escape to Europe but she find out about my plans from my closed friend whom i trusted so much. My step mum now seized my international passport and other valuable traveling documents. Luckily for me she did not discover where I kept my late fathers File which contains important and valid financial documents. So I decided to ran to my Uncle where I am presently now because she want to kill me since i refused to give her those documents. I am contacting you personally for a long term business relationship and investment assistance in your Country.

My late father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$ 9.7m (Nine Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in one of the leading bank in Europe with my names as the next of kin. But meanwhile you should not allow any other person to know about this money since my late father did not disclose it to any body rather do they know about the valuable documents .I have informed the bank of my plans of transferring the money to me here in African to start a new life but little did i know that my late father as enterprise as he will always be when alive had an agreement with the noble bank that : i should be up to 30 years of age before i will have direct access to the money or i must present a partner to stand for me as my trustee to the bank so the bank will make the release of the money into my partner`s account.

However, I shall forward you with the necessary documents on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer of the money to your account till when i will come over to your country for your assistance to invest the money wisely in any good lucrative business in your country. I will also like to complete my studies there since i was in my 1st year in the university when the crisis started.

This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications should be through this email address for save, confidential and documentary purposes. As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately because the treatment i am receiving from my Uncle's wife is not of good one as well. It has been very difficult for me.

I kept this secret to people around me here even my Uncle is not away of this, because if he do he will force me to release the documents to him.
So in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for i am afraid of loosing my life and the money if bad people gets to know about it. I want to have your full information's such as;

Your full name……………………..
Address………………………….
phone number…………………
Address…………………

As soon as i have all this information's i will give you the bank contact where the money was deposited for you to contact them on my behalf for the transfer
I will be looking forward to be hearing from you soonest.

Yours Sincerely,

Miss. Pauline Herman.
