Subject: Urgent Please
Goodday,
I know it looks really strange for you to receive this email from me.
Before I go further, let me use this medium to introduce myself.
My names are Justine R. Guei. I am a full citizen of Ivory coast and a
native of Bouake the rebel besieged city in the northern part of the
country 400 km north of Abidjan the capital. I grew up with my uncle
Ex-Military Head of State of Ivory Coast who was assasinated along with
the Interior Minister by name(Emile Boga Doudou)on the 19th of September
2002 Please,feel free to browse through
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm)for complete report on
this incident.
I lost my father and mother in a gastric motor accident when I was
barely 13 years old then. My uncle General Robert Guei before his
assination made a cash deposit of (3.7 Million) with a private reputable
security vault in The Gambia for safe keeping. This was deposited and declared
as family jewelries in my name and the documents were with my uncle's
lawyer which I never knew about. Up till my writing this mail, the
Security vault does not know of the cash content in this consignment in
deposit with them.
Some months after my uncle's death, I was called upon by my uncle's
lawyer from The Gambia and all these were revealed to me. Now, my uncle's
lawyer is seeking to get married to me so that he can gain access to
this furtune but he is really too old for me and he has (3) other wives.I
have told him that I have a step father/guardian who will help manage
this cash for me and I do not need his assistance other than when my
step father/guardian comes, he just has to hand the papers over to us and
we are through with him.
I need you to act as my guardian to assist me move this fund to your
country or any other country you deem fit and be able to manage properly,
part of the money in a feasible and lucrative investment, hence the
need of contacting you.
I also want to let you know that I will forever appreciate if you
assist me in moving this fund out of Africa. Again, you must have to make
arrangement on how to move me to your country to reside in peace and
please do consider this and let me know promptly, your acceptance to assist
me so that we can know how to immediately undertake this project within
the shortest possible time.
I await your very prompt reply and please do not hesitate to ask for
clarification on any aspect you are uncertain about.Reach me directly via
this email address as my late uncles lawyer has an access to this email
account: justine_rg25@yahoo.co.uk
Kind Regards and waiting to read from you soonest,
Justine R.G
