PERSONAL AND STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

DEAR

I am Mrs. Aishatou Rasak, an Ivorien widow with an only son Dan Usman Rasak. My husband was the chief security officer to the ousted president Henry Bedie of Côte d'Ivoire. During the over throw of 24th December 1999, my husband was among the people that were killed by the military. Since after his death, I ran away with my only son.
Dear, may I introduce this business proposal to you I do hereby wish to ask for your assistance in urgent business transaction that requires absolute honesty and secrecy.
The former president (BEDIE) gave him US 25.000.000 Dollars (Twenty five million US Dollars) cash in US 100.00 dollars bill stacked in a box when he got information that the militaries were planning to over throw him.
Immediately my husband was confirmed dead, I made away with this box with my only son so that we can not be reached by Mr. BEDIE.  

I have really been waiting for a more suitable time and opportunity like this to contact you concerning this transaction.
Right now, the money is in a safe place, I deposited it with a security company for safe keeping.
I am using this opportunity to seek for your assistance to move this money to your country, to be invested on behalf of my only son. For this business to be concluded immediately, all you need to do is to arrange to meet with me and my son where this box is been lodged, open an account in your name, pay in the whole money after clearing and transferring it to your chosen account.
We can 't do that on our own because we don't have account else where, moreover, we don't have any business to cover-up that is why we needed your assistance.
I am ready to offer you 30% of the total sum and give you the full power to manage the remaining 70% on be half of my son.
Contact my son Dan Usman Rasak where we are currently staying in a sister's house in LOME TOGO.  This money we deposited it in the best security company in LOME - TOGO.
Upon conclusion of arrangement, we shall forward to you the certificate of deposit, and the phone and fax numbers of the security company for confirmation.
However, call my son at this number : 00228 02 05 80 immediately you receive this e-mail message or through his e-mail address:dan_rasak01@maktoob.com
Please I want us to finish this business as quickly as possible.
