FROM MIRIAM HARUNA
RUE 6 BP 01COCODY ABIDJAN
COTE D IVOIRE.
DEAREST ONE
It is my pleasure to write you regardless of the fact that we do not
know
each other in person: I am MIRIAM HARUNA, the Daugther of late Mr.and Mrs.
Issa Haruna. I contacted you to solicit your assistance
towards claiming and transfering a huge sum of money deposited in a
bank here in Ivory Coast by my late father to your account for onward
investment and education on behalf of me and my little Brother. My father
was a very wealthy Cocoa/Mineral Resources Merchant in Freetown the
Economic Capital of the Sierra-Loen, my father was poisoned to death by
his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip
.My mother died when we were small and since then my father took me so
special.Before the death of my father last year october 2005 in a private
hospital
in Abidjan. He secretly called me to his bedside and told me that he
has the sum of US$15 Million United States Dollars (15 Million Dollars) left
in deposit/suspense account in one of the prime banks.He said that he used
my brother name as his only son for the next of kin on the day of deposit.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates. As a matter of fact, we went to the
bank for our claims, the bank manager told us to look for a liable foreign
partner in a country of our choice where the money can be transfered
for our investment ambitions. I am honourably seeking your assistance in
the following
ways
1. to provide a bank account into which this money would be transferred
2. to serve as a guardian of this fund since I am too young to handle
this project.
3. to make arrangement for me and my only Brother ( age: 15 ) to come
over to your country to further our
education and to secure Residence permit in your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as
compensation for
your effort after the successful transfer of this fund into your
nominated account overseas. Further more, you indicate your option towards
assisting me as I believe that this transaction could be concluded within
seven banking (7)working days.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and God bless you,
MIRIAM HARUNA.
