FROM ISHMEAL

Dear Respected One,   I am aware that this is not a formal approach in starting a relationship, but as time goes on you will come to realize the need for my approach. My mail to you might come as a surprise since you don't know me in person.   But if this message comes to you out of your wish, please forgive me. I hope that as you read through this mail you will understand how difficult things can be at a particular period in ones life.   I'm introducing my self to you in good faith, trust and hope in that you will understand and assist me whole heartedly and not to betray me in the end. I have a proposal for you, this however is not mandatory nor will i in any manner compel you to honor against your will. I am Ishmeal Leman, 22 years old and the only son of my late parents Mr. and Mrs. Leman Obome. My father was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in Abidjan the capital city of Cote D'ivoire during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 12th.Feb. 2005. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who traveled 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 February 12th 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of 13.500,000 US DOLLARS (THIRTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS) kept in a security company here in Abidjan , Cote D'ivoire .   He also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe Box. He declared it as family treasure and used my name to Deposit the money as his first son for next of kin. He also explained to her that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes. I want you to assist me in clearing these funds overseas as a beneficiary of the funds, and also use it for an investment purpose because I am inexperience in business world.   I am just 22 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. Now I want your assistance to help me transfer these funds oversea. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Cote D'ivoire . The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. Dearest friend, 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 you honestly help me as your son or brother? 2. Can I completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?   Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.   Yours Sincerely,   Ishmeal Leman Obome.
