Subject: Thanks for your kind response.!
Dearest one,
Many thanks to your mail in respond to the request that I made to you. God bless you for replying my mail and even thinking it wise to help me out of my predicament. My dear i want you to trust me because i got to contact you through an inspiration of holy spirit and i believe i could trust you because my God has never fail me before.
Before proceeding i want you to show me your interest towards assisting me conclude this transaction, also to promise me that you will be honest to me and that you will not sit on this money when it will get to your account because as you can see this money is my only hope in life and i trusted you that is why i contacted you for assistance.
Also, It is my prayers that in any t ime in your life that you need help, God himself will come to your aid. Before continuing, I do like to inform you that this transaction is a risk free. It is completely risk free. The money that I told you I want to transfer into your bank account is my inheritance from my late father. It is a legally acquired money so there is nothing wrong about it.
Before the death of my father in Abidjan, He sincerely called me on his bed side and told me that he had a sum of Twelve million two hundred thousand United state Dollars ($12. 200,000.00 US DOLLARS) kept in a local bank here in Abidjan. That he used my name to Deposit the money as his only daughter as next of kin/heir.
Like I told you in my mail, I am alone now. I want to transfer the money into your bank account after which, I shall travel to meet with you in your country so that we can invest the money in lucrative business es of your choice not only real estate any business that is good for your own knowledge. I am only 21 years now and I do not have any experience of investment. I am hoping on you to make the investment because i believe you will know better business that will benefit us in your country.
Before i contacted you, I went to the bank here where the money was deposited to inform them that I want them to release the money to me. The bank people told me that their was an agreement with my late father during the time of deposit that the money will not be given or release to me until I am 24 years of age. Now that I am not up to 24 years, the bank said that I have to appoint another person who will act as my guardian so that they will release and transfer the money directly to the person account. This is the reason why I have contacted you urgently to help me receive the money.
The second reason is that my father before his death told me to transfer the money to a bank account of a person of my choice abroad and leave this country immediately because of his brother bad actitude. I do not know any one that I can contact this is reason why I have requested you to help me. It is true that we do not know each other before now, I believe that we can work with one another and become a very reliable partners. I know for sure that both of us will handle this transaction to a mutual benefit. once I hear and concluded with you, I shall give you the contact of the bank here so that you can contact the bank as my guardian and request for urgent transfer of this fund to your account.
The bank is already aware that I should appoint some one and they have been waiting for me to give them the name of the person and information so that they will commence the transfer. The bank will work directly with you and will release the money directly to any account you shall donate, this means that you will need to provide a bank valid account where the money will be transferred into. Once the money is transferred to your account you shall send me some money from my money so that I can arrange for my traveling documents and come over to meet you.
If you need to know anymore thing, do not hesitate to ask me so that I can answer. When I receive your next reply. I will leave you here and until I hear from
you, I
remain.
In God's loving arms.
Gloria Mumah.

I apologize for the late reply.
Last year I received an email about an inheritance in Cote d'Ivoire. Even though I paid almost £2500 ($5000) in fees to Barrister Eze, I have not yet received the money.
I don't want to get burnt again.
Can I really trust you?
