Dearest,
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 Samirah Usman 18 years old, the only surviving daughter of my late MR.& MRS Rashid Usman. My late father was a highly reputable busnness tygoon-in (Gold, Diamond and cocoa merchant)who operated in the west Africa region 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 with 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 was well packed inside a sealed container and was deposited in a security company here in a nearby country Ivory Coast in the same West AFRICA.He also told me that the security company does not know the content of the deposited box as he decleared it to the company as family items and used my name Miss
Samirah Usman to deposit the box as the next of kin. He also explained to me briefly that it was because of his wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, 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 days 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 propertise belonging to my father even treating to kill me, So I decided to run away from their sight to the nearby country where he deposited the box of money.Now I want you to assist me in clearing this box from the security company and then transfer the fund inside the box into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose. I am just an
orphan and a victim of circumstances because my mother died when I was small and I am a refugee in a country 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 as a result of incessant political crisis in my country Sierra Leone 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 please.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me and will be willing to offer you 10% of the total money as soon as we finalise this transcationand I am with you?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. Finaly I hope you will treat me like your person and never to betray me?
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 while I wait to hear from you.,
Miss Samirah Usman 18 Years.
