Dearest One



With respect and humility, I decided to send this mail to you, this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am Miss Nicole Diakite , 17years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr. and Mrs.Diakite. My father was a highly reputable business man (a cocoa merchant and suppulier of agro allied material ) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad in February 2003.

Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled 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 12, 2003, he told me about a box he concealed the sum of Five million, seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$5,700,000.00) deposited in one of the security companies here in Abidjan Ivory coast West Africa, which he disguised and declared the box to contain family valuables instead of money, by this way the company does not know the true content of the box. I have in my possesion the deposit document which the company gave to my late father when he deposited the box with the security company. I really don't know what to do. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.

The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. I am in a sincere desire of your assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly and willingly help me.

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 country? Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.


Thank you so much

Nicole Diakite

And this one, just yesterday...


I am the above named person from Angola. I am married to Mr. Estrada Lobi who worked with Angola embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christian.

Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $5Million (Five Million U.S. Dollars) with one security company in Abidjan. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.

I took this decision because I dont have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I dont want my husbands efforts to be used by unbelievers. I dont want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I dont need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husbands relatives around me always. I dont want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company in Abidjan. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life,any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another ministry or organisation for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. to enable me give you the contact of my Attonrney For legal advise on what you should do.please for security reasons and to avoid my late husbands families kindly contact me through this new email account,(estrada_losia1@mail.az)

Hoping to receive your reply.
