FROM Miss Catherine Casmir.

West Africa.
Dear Sir,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you , l got your name and contact through the help of a friend who
works in internet here in Abidjan and I prayed over it and selected your
name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendation
by the director for a reputable and trust worthy person l can do business
with and by the recommendation l must not hesitate to confide in you for
this simple and sincere business.
l am Miss Catherine, the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs Nelson Casmir.My
father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan here, the economic capital
of Ivory Coast, he was poissoned to death by his business associates on
one of their outings on business. My mother died on the 20th october 1988
and my father took me so special because l am his only remaining next of
kin he hoped on after the death of my mother when i became motherless.
Before the death of my father on 29th november 2003 in a private hospital
here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside,when I sat down to
listen to him, he started crying, why?
(1) He complained that I am too young to be managing my life.
(2)That I have not finished my university education as he planned for me,(3)no
body to take care of me again as a young girl, but after much crying, he
still passed an instruction to me that he has the sum of US$8.000.000.(EIGHT
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in a security company here in Abidjan,
that he used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposit
of the funds.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned
by his business associates, that l should seek for a GOD fearing foreign
partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer this money and use
it for proper investment purpose, that I must finish my university education
by the help of that foreign partner abroad,that he or she should help me
obtain a resident permit in his or her country.
He also gave an outstanding instrution to the company that the money must
be invested outside this country . and it was deposited as an atifact to
avoid problem or tamparing by the officers of the company.before use, this
is to make sure that I did not begin to make use of the money here so that
his enemies will not get at me. Sir, I am now ready to do all these since
my father who was my bread winner is no more.
Sir l am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.
(1) To serve as my gaurdian in your country while I will depend on your
expert advise since l am a girl of 23 years.
( 2 ) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country in order to
further my university education and to secure a residential permit for me
in your country.
Moreover sir, l am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as
Compensation for your effort /input after the successfull transfer of this
funds to your account overseas. Furthermore, you can indicate your option
towards assisting me as l believed that this project would be concluded
within fourteen ( 14 ) days after you signify interest to assist me.
Hoping to hear from you soonest. May God bless you as you
extend your helping hand to a needy fellow.
Best regards
Miss Catherine Casmir.
