Subject: Dearest One,
Dearest One,
=A0
Thanks for the opportunity to be your friend. I will really like to have a =
good relationship with you. I have a special reason why I decided to contac=
t you.
=A0
I decided to contact you after reading your profile because of the urgency =
of my situation here. My Name is Miss. Nicole Vaye 19 years old and from Li=
beria , in the western part of Africa , My late Father Issac Nuhan Vaye, wa=
s the Deputy Minister of Public Works in Charles Taylor's government. He wa=
s falsely accused of plotting to remove the then (PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA- CHA=
RLES TAYLOR) from office. Without trial, Charles Taylor killed him.
Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and fragi=
le political situation in Liberia as at that time. But it formed consistent=
headlines in the CNN, BBC news bulletins. You can verify this from some of=
the international newspapers posted in the web sites below:

In fact, I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I am r=
eceiving from my step mother. My Father had two wives before his demise. My=
mother was the second; the first one couldn't raise him an issue after nin=
e years of their marriage that emerged in him the idea of getting a second =
wife that happened to be my late mother. After the marriage of my mother, t=
he first wife turned hostile and aggressive till the extent that my father =
had to sent her packing and rented an apartment for her in the town. She ca=
me back with her things after the news of my parents' death. She has been m=
ore or less hostile to me and want to deny me of all my father's assets. I =
am just like being in a wicked circle that nothing in the house pleases me.
=A0
Meanwhile, I wanted to escape to the Europe but she hide away my internatio=
nal passport and other valuable travelling documents. Luckily she did not d=
iscover where I kept my father's File which contains important documents. S=
o I decided to run to the refugee camp where I am presently seeking asylum =
under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugee here in Abidjan , =
Republic of Cote d'ivoire. Due to my inability and lack of resources, I dec=
ided to contact you for a help please, I will be very glad if you should co=
nsider to help me please. I am contacting you for a long term business rela=
tionship and investment assistance in your Country.

My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$3,500, 000.00 in a Bank=
here in Cote d'ivoire with my name as the next of kin. When I came to=A0Ab=
idjan , I went to the bank where my father deposited the money so that I ca=
n withdraw some money as the next of kin to the account and start a new lif=
e. Unfortunately, I was told that as a political asylum seeker that i canno=
t personally withdraw the money. The agreement states that I should appoint=
a trustee/investor any time I want to take the money from the bank. I unde=
rstand that the investor is to invest and manage the money for me in a good=
business.
=A0
So the bank officials advised me that since I am not yet 25 years and not m=
arried, I should look for someone to stand for me for claims in accordance =
with their agreement with my late father. This is why I contacted you. Seco=
ndly, I like your country and I want to live there and continue my educatio=
n as i was in my 1st year in the university, when the crisis started and de=
ath of my parents. It is my intention to compensate you with 30% of the tot=
al money for your services and the balance shall be my investment capital. =
This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications =
should be through this email address only for confidential purposes. As soo=
n as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put thin=
gs into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate a=
n urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this tra=
nsaction sincerely.
=A0
Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to you=
rself. Please I beg you not to disclose these details till I come over, onc=
e the fund has been transferred.

Yours Sincerely,
Miss Nicole Vaye=0A=0A=0A
