economic capital of Ivory Coast, my father died during the political war
crisis that going on in my country here in ivory coast(cote

new baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my
father on november 2003 in a private hospital herein Abidjan he secretly
called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Eight
Million,Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars. USD($8.500,000) ) left
in a fixed/suspence account in one of the prime BANK here in Abidjan Ivory
Coast ,as a family treasures that he used my name her only daughter for the
next of kin in depositing of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a 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 or hotel
management.Sir,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this
regards again.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.Now permit
me to ask these few questions:-

transferred to.?
(2)Can you stand as a guardian of fund.

further my Education and to secure a resident permit in your country?
(4) Can you honestly take me as your own and help me?
(5) Can I completely trust you?

after the money is in your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible so that i can
forward the all the informations to you after we have agreed on the
conditions for your assistance. My life is not safe
here and i need to be out of here as soon as possible because now that my
father is dead and with me only as a female child, firstly the political war
crisis are still going on here in my country and firstly secondly my uncles
are seeking to kill me so that they can have all my fathers properties. i
really don't want to struggle anything with them in terms of properties but
my presence will still be disturbing them. thank God they are not aware of
this fund in the bank hence, I want to leave here as soon as you help me to
cleared funds from the bank here and lodge it into a safe account in your
stable country and then send me some amount to enable me prepare to meet
you. without your help, i will find it difficult to travel and clear it
myself alone with my little or no experience.
I am waiting for your urgent reply with your contact phone number so that i
can give you the contact of the bank for you to contact them as if you are
my guardians. Anticipating to hear from you soon.
