My Dear chosen Guardian,

Good day to you and your family,

Please permit me to inform you of my desire of going into a guardianship
relationship with you. I know this mail may come to you as a surprise, since
we have not known or have met with each other before.

Introducing my self , I am Master Sambo Karim 20 years of age the only son
of late Mr. Mohammed Babu Karim, My father was a gold and cocoa merchant
based in Accra, Ghana and Abidjan (Ivory Coast) He was poisoned to death by
his business associates on one of their business meetings. Before the death
of my father on 22th February 2004 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He
secretly told me on his bedside and that he has a sum of USD$9.5Million
deposited in Bank in ( Abidjan Cote D' voire,that he used my name as his
only son for the next of kin in depositing the money.

He also told that he suspected that it was because of this wealth that he
was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a
trustworthy foreigner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this
money and use it for investment purpose such as expansion of his existing
cocoa business and real estate management overseas. Now i have discussed
with the bank here on how to
transfer this money to your overseas account and they instructed that i must
present to them my legal guardian before they could release the money
because of my late father's deposit agreement with them. Please i am humbly
seeeking your sincere assistance in the following ways.

1. To assist me in providing an account of yours where this money can be
transferred into.
2.To serve as my guardian and that of this money since i am still yet to
finish my education.
3.To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and to help me secure a residential permit in your country once
this money gets to your account in your country. I am willing to offer you
15% of the total sum as compensation for your efforts and input after the
successful transfer of this fund into your account overseas.

Please you can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that
this transfer will be done within a short period of time. May Almighty God
bless you as i wait your good response.

Master Sambo Karim.
