Accra, Ghana.
Good day and how are you today? I hope fine. Permit me to inform you of
my desire of asking you to be a guardian or foster parent to me and then
help me out in what i am about to tell you. I'm Belinda Kassi (18years old)
from Cote d'Ivoire, and the only child of Late Mr. & Mrs. Aruna Kassi. My
father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant here in Cote d'Ivoire.
He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their
outings on a business trip. My mother died when i was a baby. Before the
death
of my father on July 2006 in a private hospital there in Cote d'Ivoire, he
secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has the sum of
Nine million seven hundred and fifthy thousand United States Dollars USD
($9.750,000)deposited in a suspense account in one bank in Ghana. He told me
that
he used my name (Belinda Kassi) as the next of Kin to deposit the money.
He then strongly advised me NOT to seek for assistance in the investment
of the money from his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a
foreign partner from any country of my choice (outside my country,Cote
d'Ivoire
) that will assist me in the wise investment of the money.I have since
left the money in the bank with the view of making use of it for investment
purposes after my educational carrier.But as you may be already aware by
now, my country (Cote d'Ivoire ) is presently at political crises.Rebels
have already taken over the whole Northern part of the country and making
efforts towards the capture of the commercial center of the
country(Cote d'Ivoire), I am presently in Ghana,where the money was
deposited by my late father and finally decided to take quick
actions and have this money transferred out of the country Ghana that
is why i need your urgent assistance to transfer it out of the country and I
will use it for investment purpose like real estate
management or hotel management Because of this i am honorably seeking
your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To be my guardian and then assist me financially to transfer the
money into your bank account.
(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further
my education and then settle there parmanently.
I am willing to offer you 20 % of the total money as compensation for
your assistance. Please let me know if you feel the percentage i offered is
not ok by you.As soon as i recieve your full assurance and corporation,I
will then give you the bank contact information and then tell them to
transfer
the money into your account as i want to come over to stay with you
parmanently. You shall then be giving me information on when the
transfer
will be over.
I shall send my picture to you and shall also need yours too. Please no
matter what your decision may be, I beg you to reply me on my email
address.
Thanks and God bless you.
Sincerely,
Miss. Belinda Kassi.
