Dear Good Friend,
Good to write you,I have a proposal for you,Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, I am Mrs.Sonia Kamara, My husband was a highly international reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast, Abidjan during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in Europe during one of his business trips abroad last year. 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!. Before his death of my husband,he called me when he is the hospital and told me that he has the sum of (USD$11.500,000) in one metallic trunk box(Consignment) and he deposited with one of the leading security company here in Thailand. He further told me that he deposited the consignment in my name and advice me to make an arrangement with my only son and move the consignment to any choosen country. I am just a young lady with only one Son Henry and really don’t know what to do,this is because of I have suffered a lot set backs as a result of political crisis here in Ivory coast. My reason for contacting you, is for you to kindly assist us financially so we can be able to pay for the demurrage charges accumulated so far. we are also contacting you for your professional and international business advice and assistance on how I can move this assets to your Country and my late husband made me to know that the security company officials does not know the real content of the box. please take note.
The death of my husband actually brought sorrow to my life. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards to help me out. Now permit me to ask these few questions.
1. Can you honestly help me ?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you? Please,
