I really dont mean to bother you.But it is urgent and very important at this
point that I contact you.Let me quickly introduce myself.
I am princess Mary Kono.The former wife to late prince Duke Kono.I am 26 years old and I have a daughter who is 5 years old.
My late husband was the prince of Buake,a town in Ivory Coast where I lived with him until his death in February 13th 2006.My late husband was a carefree,open-minded and considerate
person which I believed contributed largely to his death.He never withheld these qualities from his subjects.The people he ruled.This is why it was easy for him to be poisoned.His death was suspected to have been carried out by one of his subjects..
My husband
called me in his palace one faithful Friday afternoon.He told me of the money
( 9. 5 million us dollars) he deposited in a security company here in Abidjan.The capital city of Ivory
Coast West Africa.He told me this exactly 3 months before his death.As if he knew he was going to die.He put the money in a box and deposited the box with a security company as important royal
costumes.
Now after my husband's death.His kinsmen and his immediate family are after my life.They want to kill me and inherit my husband wealth.Since I dont have a male child who will succeed my husband and ascend to the throne.
No
one knows about this deposit except the personal advicer to the prince.And I suspect he has something to do with his death.He is the one that told the kinsmen.That is why they are looking for me to get this documents.
I succeeded in sneaking out of the palace
at night.I abandoned every thing I labouerd for with my late husband in the palace but I took with me the documents of the money deposited with the security company
I am hiding in a local guest house here in Abidjan.I need you to help me retreive this
box and receive it in your country.I want to leave here and come over to your country to begin a new life away from this wicked people that killed my husband immediately you have received the money under your custody.I want you also to help me and invest this money in a good business over
there.
