PLEASE READ AND REPLY BACK SOON - FROM NATALIA MAHDI
Please Treat with respect and urgent.
I am Natalia Mahdi Mamod, I am 19 years old and I will like to get advice and assistance from you. I believe the advice I need will be profitable and good . A few year's ago I was in Myannar with my father who was on a missionary work with a little congregation where he preached regularly the word of God. On one faithful Sunday three British Soldiers came to my father and left one trunk box containing money and swore to come back for it.
When the war intensified my father and I were escorted to our country of Seychell Islands by the UN soldiers who felt the contents of the trunk box were documents and hospital materials and never cared to check the trunk of box. My father later deposited this box in a financial company in the Republic of Cote d' Ivory, because he was on missionary visit to the country . Unfortunately my father died of car accident later in the year here in Cote d Ivory and when I was getting frustrated I returned to Seychells Island only to find out that two of the three Soldiers died in Battle while the other person was declared Missing.
Now I have the documents to the fund which according to my father the soldiers said was USA $4.6 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS, now kept safe in a Finance Company/firm in the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire (IVORY COAST). Since I am the only child of my parents, I was contacted through the address that my father gave to them in a letter by the Finance Company/Firm asking me to indicate if I was in receipt of there letter as a sign that I am still alife and still subscribed for their service which I responded back to.
I am interested only in using a small fraction of this money, much less than ten percent for a re-organization of the work of God, but I do not need the rest since I am still at School because I may not have the time for the investment needed. i want you to adopt me as your own child and i will stay with you and you shall take care of me and the money.
I have contacted you to help claim the funds out from the security company and use it for charity or something universally profitable.even though I have thought of doing it myself but i cannot because i am still very tender to handle such amount of money and also I have to concentrate on my education first which make me not indulgent in reliance on money or wealth in any form. Also I do not have the money that has accrued or accumulated on the service and safe deposit of the box by the Finance Firm.
Get back to me with your decision and idea so i can give everything about these over to you. through this Email address.
Sincere Regards,
NATALIA MAHDI
