Subject: For a god loving human being
From: Miss Rose Ali Min.
Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire
Dearest,
I'm Miss Rose Ali Min, the only daughter of Late Mr. & Mrs. Van U. Min. Please, it touches my mind and I decided to write and tell you my predicaments here and beg for your assistance as I want to leave this country soon.
My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant here in Abidjan, 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 a three years old. Before the death of my father on Nov. 2004 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Six million five hundred thousand United State Dollars USD($6.500,000) deposited in a suspense account in one of the big banks here in Abidjan. He told me that he used my name (Anderline) as
the next of Kin in depositing the money.He strongly advisedme not to seek for assistance in the investment of the money from his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a foreign partner from a 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. But as you may be already aware by now, our
country (Cote D'Ivoire) is presently at political crises. Rebels have taken over the whole Northern part of the country and making efforts towards the capture of the commercial center Abidjan, where we are now.For this urgly
development, I have now decided to take quick actions and have this money transferred out of this country before it is too late. Because of this I am honorably seeking 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.
(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, 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, 20% 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 as I want to come over to stay with you parmanently. The bank will then contact you and communicate with you on the
transfer. I shall also send my picture to you.
Please, due to sensitive nature of this message, I advice you reply me as soon as possible.
Thanks and God bless you .
Miss Rose Ali Min.
