Dear

Permite me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you I got your email address through internet after our church prayer
and fasting

I am Miss Mary J.Karimu, the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs James Karimu.
My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the economic capital
of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned by his business associates on one
of their outing to discuse a
business deal. When my mother died on the 21st October 1988, my father took
me and my junior brother special because we are motherless.

Before the death of my father on 30th January 2004 in a private hospital
here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he
has a sum of $10.000.000 (Ten Million dollars) left in a suspence account
in one of the local bank here in
Abidjan, that he used my name as the next of kin on deposit of the fund.

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge
amount of money his business associates supposed to balance him from the
deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should
seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I
will
transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate
management).

We are honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.

1) To provide a Bank account where this money would be transferred to.
2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am 24 years.

Moreover,we are willing to offer you 20% of the sum for your compensation
input to us after the successful transfer of the fund into your account

Please reply through this meail(m_karimu505@yahoo.com)

Anticipating to hear from you soonest.
Thanks and God bless you

Mary Karimu
