Subject: Please give urgent attention
Please assist
Mrs. Victoria Amina Guei
Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire.
West Africa.
Suddenly you got this mail and may be doubting and wondering how I got your
mail contact. Well, I got your contact from an operator of an internet
services in the Chambers of Commerce here in Abidjan, Cote d' Ivoire, hence
I decided to write you, though I did not mention the transaction to her.
I am Victoria Amina Guei, the wife of the late PRESIDENT ROBERT GUEI from
Abidjan, the Republic of Cote d`ivoire who was assassinated during the last
political problem in cote D`Ivoire in the year 2002. To be direct, I was his
first wife with only one son Jacob Keita Guei before we divorced, but
because of my son, when he became the present, he deposited the amount of
Eight Million US Dollars ( US$ 8 Million) for me and my son with Laiki
Security and Finance Company in Spain before he died. we thought that the
political problem here will stop so that we can invest the fund here but
because of the current crisis again we have decided to invest this fund in
your country. For further details, you can visit the site below

and get details of the current political crisis here in Abidjan.
I need your mutual assistance to move my family asset to your Country for
investment. To be very honest and sincere with you, since the sudden death
of my late husband I have contacted two people from Denmark and Greece to
assist me in this very matter, but due the fraudulent activites going on in
the world through the internet today and otherwise, all the people I
contacted felt I am not for real. that is why I am writing you this mail
with due sense of humanity and responsibility, and with the awareness that
you will give it a sympathetic and mutual consideration.
Were you really come in is for you to assist me and my son financially so we
can be able to pay for the dumurrage charges, accumulated so far because we
cannot be able to pay the fees from this end. We will also need your advice
on areas of investment when finally the funds get to your end. The total
money deposited in our name in Laiki Security and Finance Company in Spain
is US$8 million (US$ Eight MILLION)
Please get back to me to enable us discuss what will be your own share after
collection
NOTE: I was directed to contact you by my mother and be informed that the
Security company does not know the content of the box, they just know it as
family valuables for security reason.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Victoria and Son, Jacob Keita Guei .
