Dear,
This is about my life story, i want to disscus with you concerning my suitation here in west Africa and i will like you to have mercy upon me, and my spirit told me that you are in position to help me out, and i know my GOD who directed me to you will reward you.
My name is stephen barry from Abidjan in Cote Divore of west africa and also the only son of late Mr/Mrs Emanuel barry. My father and mother were very wealthy farmers and cocoa merchant when they were both alive.
After the death of my mother, long ago, my father was controlling their business untill he was poisoned by his business associates which he suffered and died.
Before the death of my father on September 2004 in a private hospital here in Abidjan where he was admitted, He secretly called me on his bed side and disclosed to me about the sum of Four million two hundred thousand US dollars . USD ($4.2million ) he left in suspense account in one of the bank here in Abidjan , it was the money he intended to transfer overseas for investment before he was poisoned.
After the death of my father i went to the banks to withdraw money from this fund and that is the day i saw the bank director face to face and he told me the condition deposit and the agreement signed by my late father when he was alive .
He told me that my father deposited this money for unward transfer to his foreign account for his company project in oversea and he has agreement with them that the money will not be withdraw here until it gets to his foreign account in oversea, before he died, he advice me to look for a foriegner or foriegn account where the bank can transfer the money so that I can be able to make use of it.
After my father's burial, my uncles took all his properities and threw me out, i am a boy of 20 years old andneeded help or someone to take care of me in this condition, I ran to achurch premises and explain the matter to the church pastor and his wife, and they accepted me to stay with them for some time, that is where i am staying presently.
In all the properties of my late father ,this fund is the only thing i have now because my father used my name as the next of kin to the fund, this why i have every power to find any person to accept this money into his or her account.
Now i want you to help me by accepting this nomey into your account in your country so that i will come over there to continue my education and invest with this money in any lucritive business you know very well . Please if you are willing to assist me i will offer you 25% of the total money
As soon as I receive your urgent reply indicating your interest to assist me to successfully transfer the money into your nominated account,Then we shall move into the transfer process as i will be giving you the bank contact where my late father deposited the money.
Best regards from
stephen barry
