Subject: Greetings My Dear One,
Greetings My Dear One,
My name is Miss Barbara Adelman. I was born in Ivory Coast, also am the only daughter of my parents. My mother died when i was four years old.
My father was a wealthy cocoa merchant known. But unfortunately, my father was poisoned last year, when he attended a ceremony in the town with my uncle. After the death of my father, my uncle seized all my father left. My father deposited the sum of seven million eight hundred thousand dollars of the United States. USD ($ 7,800,000.00) left in fixed account in major bank here in Abidjan, my name as his only daughter in the family's deposit fund (next of kin). My uncles have turned to trying to eliminate me and reclaim my heritage.
Please, I need your help as follows:
1) I want you to be my agent and will use this money to invest in real estate management or hotel business, alternatively, you can invest in any business of their choice, while I continue my education in your country.
2) To help me transfer this fund to your country, because I have spoken with the bank about my intention to transfer my heritage abroad that they have accepted.
3) To arrange for me to come to your country to continue my studies and achieve a permanent residence in their country, while investing my own share of money in any business of your choice.
(4) I am willing to offer 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort / input after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account overseas.
Furthermore, you indicate your options to help me, as I believe that this transaction is concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify interest to help me. I look forward to your response and hope that God be with you.
Barbara Adelman.
