Dear,
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will.I am Miss Titi Akim 17 years old, the only surviving son of my late MR.& MRS R.Akim. My late father was a highly reputable busnness tygoon-(in Gold, Diamond and cocoa merchant)who operated in entire Africa countries during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously which happened during one of his business trips abroad early september 2004.His sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by his brother an uncle of mine in collabration of his weaked collaeques who travelled with him.
Only God knows the truth! .He was poisoned and was flown back home,but before his death on 20TH September 2004 he send his secretary who accompanied him to the hospital to fatch me beside his sick bed he told me in confident of having the sum of 7,500,000 US DOLLARS (SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND USA DOLLARS) which he deposited with in one of the local banks here.He deposited this fund in a special account(suspence bank account) for security reasons and made me the next of kin as his only child. He also explained to me earlier before his death,that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites in colaboration of his so-called brothers.That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.
After his death few hours later, his burial was organised and he was buried normally, but they same uncle started making problem with me by taking away all the landed properties belonging to my father even treating to kill me, So I have to ran away from their sight to the nearby country where he deposited the money.I want you to assist me in this transaction by absorbing the money in any of your bank account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also help me how and where to use it for an investment purpose and to further my educaton which is more important to me. I am just an orphan because my mother died when i was small and right now residing in a refugee camp in a country (Rep.of Ivory Coast) where i don't have family nor friend and i really don't know what to do. I need help from you please. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs and my life have been miserable as a result of incessant political crisis in my country LIBERIA and !
even here in Ivory coast.The death of my Father actually brought sorrow to me.
Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards .As soon as you indicate your interest i will forward to you relating documents including my picture for legal prove.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me ?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. Finaly i hope you will treat me like your person?
Please kindly go through this and let me know of your interest immediately. So that I will give you more information on what to do, and also send you documents which I recieved from my late father concerning thois transaction.
Thanks and God Bless you so much,
Miss Titi Akim.17 years old.
