Subject: From Miss Sarah Mezie: please be my guardian
Hello dear
I am very sorry to bother you with my plight. Please know that it's not by mistake I am contacting you but by the special grace of God. After searching for someone I can lay my plight to, I’ve finally come with you after prayers to God. My name is Sarah Mezie from Liberia. I am 21.My father and I escaped from our country to the neighbouring Ivory Coast at the heat of the civil war in my country, after loosing my mother and two of my senior sisters in the war. They were raped and shot.
My father established his cocoa business in Accra,Ghana. He was in Accra, to negotiate for the purchase a field when he was involved in an auto crash. There
is a big problem here and the people here hate foreigners. He was hospitalised before he finally gave up on the 24th of january.His death has now made me an
orphan and I am exposed to danger. As I write,foreigners are attacked on daily basis.
Before the unfortunate sudden death, my father called me to his side and told me he had a total sum of 7.4 million US dollars deposited in a bank here in Abidjan. He said he used me his only surviving child as his next of kin to the deposite and incase he fails to make it that I should take care of myself and get someone to help invest the money for me. I have all the papers with me here.
I have confirm from the bank all the papers he gave me on the deposit. I asked them to give me the money but they showed me the paper my dad signed with them that
I must be 25 years old before they can hand over the money to me personally.They said I should send them my birth certificate which I did and they told me that am still under the age my dad signed with them.They also told me that my dad made a provision that my guardian can manage the money on my behalf. Please this is where I need you now. I am suffering herewithout money and since he died, I have not gone to school again while there is money lying in there.I have tried to locate any of my family but all to no avail and this is why I have decided to get one for my
self to assist me in getting the money out. I will do all you want from me provided it’s within my reach.I trust you because I trust you, please do not dis^ppoint or cheat me. Please help me. I have just told them that my guardian will contact them because I don’t want them to take advantage of me that i have no guardian.
I want you to stand for me as my guardian and contact the bank. Tell them you are my guardian and because of the crisis here, you want me to be with you where you
can better take care of me. Tell them to transfer the money to you immediately. Please help save my life please. I have no more money here and feeding is a big
problem to me now. As soon as the money has been transfered, you will assist me with a letter of invitation that will make me get a visa to your country for residence
in order for me to continue my education and to invest the fund in a viable business there.
This money can take care of me there without any problem and please I need you to manage the fund for me, as this is my last hope in life. I am ready to do anything you want provided you help me. You can Have 30 percent of the money if you help me.
If this is acceptable to you, send me a mail so that I can know you the more as well as give you the papers and write to the bank concerning you.
Please send me your telephone number where I can call and talk with you.
God Bless you.
Yours, Sincerely
Sarah Mezie
