Subject: PLEASE HELP ME TO INVEST IN YOUR COUNTRY!!!
El- Elyon Guest House ,Tema,GhanaWest Africa.privat E-mail (mskadytraore@gmail.com)Hello Greetings in the name of God.You will be surprise to receive this mail from a total stranger like me. Anyway ,I am Kady Traore by name. I am 20 years old. The first child of the four children of
late Colonel Bakassa Traore who died after being tortured by the security agents of the present
government in my country, Cote d' Ivoire.
My father with two of his colleagues honored an invitation for a dinner by the French ambassador
and was invited by the security agents of president Laurent Gbagbo thereafter. They were accused
of divulging some vital information of the government of President Laurent Gbagbo to their
traitors (France) They were mercilessly humiliated and tortured and detained. After their release, my father was rushed to the hospital and was kept under the care of his
private doctor. His doctor tried all he could to save his life but he gave up the ghost after
spending four days in the hospital. You can view this web site for more information:

My father, knowing very well that he would not survive, called all of us while lying on his sick
bed and he instructed us to leave the country for Accra Ghana where we are staying presently as
our country is no longer safe for us. He brought out an envelope and gave to our mother and inside the envelope was a written note of
what to do when we get to Accra Ghana . We left for Ghana after his burial and the instruction from him was that he deposited the sum of
USD$12.5m (Twelve million five hundred thousand US dollars) in a bank in Ghana and made me the
next of kin to the fund.
We have already gone to the bank to make confirmation and the bank manager advised that we should
look for a trusted foreigner as the receiver of the fund in a bank account abroad because of the
fact that the fund was deposited in a domiciliary account of which I would only be accessible to
it when I am 25 years. I am seeking your assistance in the following ways.
(1) To provide a bank account where this funds would be transferred into.(2) To serve as our guardian and help us with investment of the funds for our continued
existence. (3) To be our guardian for the furtherance of our studies either in your country or elsewhere in
the civilized World. We are willing to offer you 25% of the total funds as compensation for your efforts after the
successful realization of the funds in your custody. We are looking forward to hearing from you, as we will furnish you with all the necessary
documents and moral directives to facilitate the claim by you without any breach of the law. Be informed that we have the full co-operation of the bank manager as he has advised for proper
confidentiality since this involves such a huge amount of money. Reply to:
(mskadytraore@gmail.com)My brother,.
Your prompt response is highly expected.
Thanks,
Ms Kady Traore.
