By introduction I am LARISA ama I FROM Sierra Leonian by birth and the ONLY DUOGTER of late Mr.& mrs. EMINHUJA AMA? please kindly permit ME to inform you of MY desire of asking you to be MY guardian or a foster parent to ME and then help ME out in whati was w about to tell you.I'm LARISA . AMA .(19) YEARS. i am the only duogter OF Late Mr. & Mrs. EMINHUJA AMA? MY father was a wealthy cocoa and diamond merchant based here in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote D'Ivoire. He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip. MY mother died when i was babies. Before the death of my father on July 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has the sum of eleven million five hundred thousand United State Dollars USD ($11.5,000) deposited in a suspense account in one of the local banks banks here in Abidjan. He told me that he used my name (LARISA as
the next of Kin in depositing the money.He then strongly advised me not to seek for an assistance in the investment of the money from his lawyer nor any of his friend's here but to seek for a foreign partner from any country of my choice(outside , Cote D'Ivoire) that willl assist me in the wise investment of the money.I have since left the money in the bank with the view to make use of it for investment purposes after my education carrier here.
But as you may be aware by now,the country i was residing with my parents before their death (Cote D’Ivoire) is presently having political crises. Rebels have already taken over the whole Northern part of the country killing innocent citizens everyday and making efforts towards the capture of the commercial center of the country, Abidjan, where i am now.
For this ugly development in this country, i have now decided to take quick actions and have this money transferred out of this country before it is too late to do that, for the safety of my lives and that of the money bcause it is part of what am living for now. i now want to transfer it out and use it for investment purpose like real estate management or hotel management according to my late father's advice before his death. Because of this am honorably seeking
for your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To serve as a guardian to me and then assist me transfer the money into your bank account or any nominated account by you. (2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and then settle there parmanently.
If you accept to stand as my guardian or foster parent to me , i need not discuss on any percentage with you as you have to see the whole money as yours and then assist me invest it. But if you still want a percentage, i am willing to offer you, 15% o of the total money as compensation for your assistance. As soon as i receive your concrete assurance to assist me with my proposal and also your full contact address/phone number, i will then give the bank your contact information and then tell them to transfer the money into your account
or any nominated account by you, as i want to come over to stay with you parmanently. The bank will then contact you and communicate with you on the transfer. You shall then be giving me information on when the transfer will be over. i shall also send my pictures to you and shall also need yours too. No matter what your decision may turn out to be, please i beg you to keep this highly secret for my safety, as i believe that those that killed my Daddy are
Still after me. i will appreciate to here from you.Thanks and God bless you .
Best regards,
LARISA?
