Subject: HELLO
MY NAME IS GRACE AKEHE I AM FROM ABIDJAN, COTE D IVORIE. WEST AFRICA.
I AM IN NEED OF A PERSON OR COUPLE WHO WILL ACCOMMODATE OR ADOPT ME AS PART OF HIS OR HER FAMILY. I AM THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF MY LATE PARENTS CHIEF AND MRS JULIUS AKEHE. I AM 20 YEARS OLD. MY FATHER WAS A POTENTIAL GOLD DEALER DURING HIS LIFE TIME BEFORE HE MET HIS SUDDEN DEATH. HE WAS ASSASINATED BY HIERED KILLERS ON 29TH NOVEMBER, 2005. MY MOTHER DIED OF BREAST CANCER IN 1992 WHEN I WAS STILL AT A TENDER AGE.
AFTER THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, I WAS CONSULTED BY ONE INTERNATIONAL RUSSIAN SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN COTE D'IVOIRE TELLING ME THAT MY FATHER HAD A CONSIGNMENT BOX OF FAMILY TREASURE IN GOLD WORTH OF $8,000 000 DEPOSITED WITH THEM WITH MY NAME AS HIS NEXT OF KIN. THE COMPANY BELONGS TO THE RUSSIANS. I WANT A SINCERE AND RELIABLE PERSON OR COUPLE WHO WILL ADOPT ME AS PART OF HIS OR HER FAMILY AND HELP ME RETRIEVE THIS CONSIGNMENT BOX FROM THE RUSSIAN COMPANY. I HAVE EVERY EVIDENCE CONCERNING THE CONSIGNMENT BOX WITH ME.
SINCE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER I HAD BEEN TAKING REFUGE UNDER A PASTOR AND HIS WIFE. ( PASTOR SILAS MOKOLO AND HIS WIFE ) I WANT SOMEONE THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE OR ADOPT ME TO HELP ME LEAVE THIS PLACE.
I WANT TO LEAVE THIS PLACE BECAUSE OF THE CIVIL WAR GOING ON HERE. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY LIFE OR MY INHERITANCE EITHER TO THE REBELS OR MY LATE FATHER'S ENEMIES. AGAIN THE PASTOR THAT HAS BEEN HARBOURING ME IN HIS FAMILY IS DUE TO BE TRANSFERED TO DARFUR IN BURUNDI FOR HIS MISSIONARY ASSIGNMENT. HOW UNFORTUNATE IT IS FOR ME NOT TO GO WITH HIM AS THE SITUATION IN DARFUR IS VERY DEADLY BECAUSE OF HEAVY WAR THERE.
THESE ARE THE AREAS I NEED YOUR HELP;
1) AFTER GETTING THE CONSIGNMENT BOX RETRIEVED FROM THE RUSSIAN COMPANY AND DELIVERED TO YOU OVER THERE IN YOUR COUNTRY, YOU WILL MAKE SALE OF THE GOLD ON MY BEHALF AND THEN SEND ME MONEY TO COME OVER.
2) YOU WILL HELP ME GET RESIDENCE PERMMIT WHILE I CONTINUE WITH MY EDUCATION OVER THERE.
3) WHEN I COME OVER WE ARE TO MAKE PROPER INVESTMENT WITH THE MONEY REALIZED FROM THE GOLD SALE. AND FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND IMPUTS YOU ARE TO INDICATE THE PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL MONEY REALIZED THAT WILL BE OKEY FOR YOU.
NOTE THAT WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME IS NOT ACTUALLY THE MONEY REALIZED FROM THE GOLD. AFTER ALL, I AM ONLY A GIRL. BUT I WANT MY LIFE AND MY INHERITANCE SAFE AND USEFUL. I WANT TO FEEL AT HOME SOMEWHER, FEEL BELONGED TO A FAMILY AND BEEING CARED FOR. I NEED A KIND OF REPLACEMENT FOR MY LOST PARENTS. LET ME TASTE THE JOY OF A FAMILY FOR ONCE. I REALLY NEED TO BE HELPED FORGET THE AGONY OF MY PAST AS IT REGARDS TRAGEDIES THAT BEFELL ON MY FAMILY.
HAVE A NICE DAY AND REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU EXTEND YOUR HELPING HANDS TO A NEEDY FELLOW.
GRACE AKEHE.
