I am 24 years old Girl from the republic of Ivory Coast in west Africa,now leaving in the refugee camp in Dakar -Senegal as the result of civil war in my country.
I am the only child of late Dr.Hasan Joseph. I am looking for someone who can take me as child and i promise to be obedient to you and i will bring happiness and joy to your life.I want you to assist me in my problem. My late father was the personal adviser to the former head of state before the rebels attacked my house one early morning killed my father and my mother is only me that is alive now and i managed to make my way to the near by country here in Dakar Senegal where i am leaving now.
However,after their death i managed to escape with very important files of my father.He has the sum of (US$3.5M)Three million five hundred thousand U.S Dollars only. This amount was deposited by my late father in which i will tell you when i confirm your interest to help me. The deposit documents indicate me as the next of kin. Presently,i am faced with the problem of securing a trust worthy foriegn partner to help me secure this money and i will give you 15%.for the total money after the transfer might be done sucessfully.
(1)Stand on my behalf in senegal bank while the deposit made as the beneficiary for the claim of the inheritance since the management adviced that i should solicit for an individual to claim the deposit for me as they cannot release it directly to me due to my refugee status.
(2)Transfer the money to your possession pending my arrival to meet with you.

Furthermore,you can contact the Bank for confirmation and i will give you link to the bank to contact them for authorisation on your name so as to enable the bank correspond with you on my behalf.I am giving you this offers as mentioned with every confidence on your acceptance to assist me or adopt me as your child if possible and manage the money for me.
