Good Day ,

I am using this means of communications because of time Shortage, so please kindly bear with me. However, permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you.

I am Frank Banny, the only child of late Mr and Mrs Robert . A Banny My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Cost before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business deal.

When my mother died on the 21St October 1984, my father took me so special because I was motherless. Before the death of my father on 29th April 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan.

He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of US$ 13,500,000 ( Thirteen million, five hundred thousand, United states Dollars) left in a suspense account in a local BANK here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his only son for the next of kin in deposit of the funds.

He also explained to me 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 and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management). Sir, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.

To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred into, to serve as the guardian of this fund since I am only 21 years and to make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the money has been transferred. Moreover, sir, I am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your efforts and contribution towards the successful transfer of this fund to your norminated account in overseas.

Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded in no time immemdiatley you signify interest to assist me. I will appreciate your early response. Anticiapting to hear from you soon.

Thanks and God Bless.

Best regards.

Frank Banny.
