Dear Respectful One, Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal
 for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you
 to honour against your will.  I am Stephen Cooper .23years old and the only
 SON  of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Cooper . My father was a highly
 reputable busnness  magnet-(a cocoa merchant)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 year
 12th.Febuary 2010.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 6 years
 old,and since then my father took me  so special. Before his death on
 Febuary 12 2003 he called the secretary who  accompanied him to the
 hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ten  million,seven hundred
 thousand United State Dollars.(USD$10.700,000) left in  fixed deposit
 account in one of the leading banks in Africa. He further told him that he
 deposited the money  in my name,and finally issued a written instruction to
 his lawyer whom he  said is in possession of all the necessary but legal
 documents to this fund  and the bank.  I am just 23 years old and a
 university undergraduate and really don't know  what to do.Now I want an
 account overseas where I can transfer this funds.  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 humble assistance in  this regards.Your
 suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.  Now permit me to ask these
 few questions:- 1. Can you honestly help me as your son ? 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 account?  Please,Consider
 this and get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you so much. My sincere
 regards. Stephen Cooper
