From Angela Kuma

you this mail because i believe you can be of assistance to me and i
believe by faith that God led me to you. I am the only daugther of my
father, late Chief Anthony Kuma from LONDON UNITED KINGDOM .My father

I didnot know that my father was going to leave me after I had lost my
mother. But before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was
going to die. He my father, (MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE) he
disclosed to me that he deposited the sum of $45,200,000 US Dollars (

security company in Abidjan,Cote d'Ivoire. That the money was meant
for his cocoa business he wanted to invest in Cote D'ivoire. According
to my father he deposited the money in a trunk box, but declared it as
Ivory, and family belonging. He simple handed me the key of the
consignment box and the document covering it which is the certificate
of deposit and the agreement bond made with the security company, and
instructed me to seek for a life time investment abroad.
Right now I have succeded in locating the securiry company also
confirmed the consignment box with most honest and confidential. I
want you to assist me in clearing this fund and transfer it to your
country as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an
investment purpose.
I am honourably seeking for your assistance in the following ways.
(1)To assist me to clear this fund from the security company and
transfer it to your country.
2)To serve as the guardian of this fund since I am a young girl . Now
I am siliciting for your assistance to help in lifting this money in
your country. Because this is my only hope in life.
Awaiting anxiously to hear from you so that we can discuss the
modalities of this transaction.
