Subject: From Salima Amin
salamualaikum
I am truly sorry for this unexpected mail. I have an urgent need so I decided to search on the internet where I got your contact.
Brief! My name is Salima Amin and I am from Ivory Coast in West Africa .
My father was killed by rebels in collaboration with his relatives. He was killed because he was sponsoring fellow Muslin for our country presidential election. He was warned not to present or sponsor a Muslim because Christians believe it was there turn to rule the nation. My father did not listen to them because he believes in his faith to support a fellow Muslim brother. If his candidate wins, they will promote Muslim religion here.
My father was killed in our family residence. On that faithful night, some unknown men came into our house and killed my father in my presence. They killed him brutally and I cried on a loud voice so they also pursued me. Alhamdulillah I was able to escape and ran away. Since then, I have not returned to our family house. I recognized the faces of the people who killed my father and they are searching for me everywhere to kill me so I do not expose them.
Two months before the death of my father, he made a cash deposit of US$ 10 000 000.00 into a security company which was meant for the campaign of the presidential election for my father candidate. The money was parked in a vault safe box and deposited in a security company here. But my father did not tell the security company the real content of the box. He kept that money so that when the campaign starts, he will use the available cash to sponsor his candidate. Unfortunately for him, he was killed for his good intention and service to our dear religion. But I know that Allah loves him more that why he too him.
My condition here now is critical because I am hiding from place to place so that the same people that killed my father do not kill me. I abandoned my father house because I know that once I near the house they will know and I might not be able to come out alive.
I am asking for your urgent assistance to get the money out of this country so I can have a safe life and a better future. I have contacted the security company for the deposited consignment and they are willing to cooperate with me and deliver the consignment to any place of my choice.
Once the money is delivered to you, I shall make arrangement to meet with you and will relocate to your country so we can use the money for lucrative investment. I will be willing to offer you a reasonable percentage of the total amount so in your mail, please indicate what percentage you wish to have from the total amount.
May Allah grant us this request and protect me.

Wassalamualikum
Salima Amin
