Dear,
I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you but do consider it as
an emergency. In a nut shell, My name is Aida Kiran 17 years old from the
republic of Ivory coast in west Africa, now seeking for refugee in
Dakar -Senegal under the(UNHCR).
The only child of late Dr.Solomon Kiran. I am looking for someone who can
take me as child I promise to be obidient to you and I will bring happiness
to your life.
I got your contact from the Internet Search.I want you to assist me in this
transaction. My late father was the managing director of Solin Gold and
Diamond Mine company in Ivory coast .But he was killed along side with my
mother during the longing civil war and all his properties were totally
destroyed. However, after their death I managed to escape with very
important files of my father.He has the sum of (US$5.2M)Five million two
hundred thousand U.S Dollars only. This amount was deposited by my late
father in one of the leading Banks. The deposit documents indicate me as the
next of kin. Presently, I am saddled with the problem of securing a trust
worthy foriegn personality to help me. I will map out 10% for you.
(1)Stand on my behalf in Senegal as the beneficiary for the claim of the
inheritance from the bank since the management of the bank adviced that I
should solicit for an individual or corporate organization to claim the
deposit for me as they cannot release it directly to me due to my refugee
status in Senegal.
(2)Transfer the money over to your own country and into your possession
pending my arrival to meet with you.
(3)Invest and manage the money for me in a good business pending my
maturity.
(4) Help me secure my travelling documents to meet you as soon as my money
is released to you.
Furthermore,you can contact the Bank for confirmation and I will issue a
letter of authorisation on your name,that will enable the bank correspond
with you on my behalf.I am giving you this offers as mentioned with every
confidence on your acceptance to assist me or adopt me as your Child if
possible and manage the money for me.
Conclusively,I wish you send me a reply immediately you recieve this
proposal.
Until then,I remain with the best
