subject From James Kohan
HelloMy name is James Kohan from Cote d’Ivoire. I am 19 years old and a student before now.
Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can, My father George Kohan was a wealthy cocoa merchant. Trouble began early last year when my father’s associates began suspecting that my father is not giving proper accounts of all the tonnes of cocoa being cultivated by local farmers in some villages. As a result of this, he was poisioned by his associates.
At his hospital bed ,he revealed to me the reasons of his sickness and a deposit he made in a prime Bank here,the money is 5.5 million American Dollars .which he made me the next of kin, being the only son. He advised me that in case he dies, that I should not stay in this country Cote d’ Ivoire because his associates may equally kill me hence my mother had died when i was two years of age of breast cancer.
He also instructed that , I should look for a foreign partner who will help me to transfer the money out of this place Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire,
Based on this, I had to contact you bearing in mind that you will be humane enough to protect my life.
My father finally died on the 5th of january,2008 and since then, I am out of school and went into hiding because of my father’s associates and only Uncle. All the relevant documents of the deposited in a Prime Bank here by my late father, are with me now.
I am ready to give you 15% of the total money, if you can help me transfer this money into your account as my guidian, for onward investment in your country as advised by my late father before he died.
Please contact me immediately so that I stop further contacts and please,remember the urgency and confidentiality my mail require.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.Yours Truly
James Kohan
