Subject: Hi My Dearest
Hi My Dearest,
How are you today? The very moment i came in contact with your profile i was convince within my heart that you are the person i am looking for. I also believe i can trust you with all my heart because i beleive you are God fearing. but my only fear now is that i hope and pray you beleive what i have to tell you.
I am Princess Johnson, i am 19, My mother was an African American while my father was from the french speaking colony of Cote D' Ivoire, i was living with my mother not too far from Charleston building, 601 57th Street, Charleston West Virginia USA. And i attended Charleston senior High School, 1201 Washington Street E, Charleston, WV. I lost my mother sometimes ago and after her death i came to meet my father for the very first time in Cote d' Ivoire, though he was also living in the state (OHIO) He told me he worked with Oha Insurance Solution, INC. 155 East broad street Columbus, Ohio 43215 USA. before he relocated back to Cote d' Ivoire to set up his own business.
Exactely two months and one week after i came to meet my father with the help of US consulates he died, he was very sick when i came to meet him. But before his death? he told me that everything he worked and laboured for in his life time is deposited in a bank here in Cote d'ivoire.
My father willed in cash, the sum of 8.7 Million pounds which he
deposited in a Fixed/Suspence account here in Abidjan Cote D'ivoire in
west Africa,with enabling conditions for the release of the fund which are
as
follows:
(1) That I must be 22 years or above.
(2) That upon request for the release of the fund, there must be evidence of investment intentions especially outside the west africa,I contact you therefore to confirm if you can absorb me in partnership in your company orpossibly advise me on any investment opportunity in your country. When I reach agreement with you, the bank will release my fund and transfer into an account that you shall nominate and I will come over to you to commence business partnership with the fund.I expect your urgent response to assist me and I will give u detail information of the bank for your verification.
Please feel free to contact me as soon as posible.And adopt me as your daughter.The reason i am telling you is that i am just a girl of 19 and there is little or nothing i could do on my own and again if my latefather relatives find out that my late father left that kind of money in my care i don't know what they might do to me, so i need you to help me transfer the fund into your account as i make plains to come over to join you.
If you do this for me i will offer you 20% of the total money for all the inconvinences i might have cause you.Please i requested for your trust and understanding because it might sound unbeleivable but it is the truth.
I am presently living in my late father family house at Av houdaille, plateau 132 BP 4713 Abidjan 01 Cote d' Ivoire.
Please get back to me as soon as posible and endeavour to include your telephone number so that i can call you.
Miss Princess Johnson.
