Subject: here is my biography
Dearest One,
First and foremost and brief self introduction, I am Seran williams from
Africa, 21years old and the only daughter of late Mr.and Mrs Williams,
i love music as well, am 5.8 feet tall. Infact as time goes on you will
know more about me.
My father was a highly reputable businessman who operated in the
capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed
away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad
year 12th.Feb. 2005.
Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been
masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.
But God knows the truth!My mother died when I was just 11 years old,
and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on
February 12 /2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the
hospital and told her that he had a sum of $19.5 million US DOLLARS
(Nineteen million five hundred thousand USD)deposited with BANK here in
Abidjan, Ivory Coast.West Africa.
He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund,with the
bank as her only daughter, as well as the next of kin to
the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a foreign
partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to
and use it for investment purposes.I want you to assist me in clearing
this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and
also use it for an investment purpose.
I am just 21 years old and a high school leaving certificate holder and
really don't know what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I
can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set
backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory Coast.
The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life. Dearest one,
i am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards Your
suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.Now permitme to ask these
few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as a friend? 2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your account? Please, Consider this and get back
to me as soon as possible, as well I will like you to forward your
private telephone if you are willing to have the relevant documents to
confirm the existence of the fund for verification from the bank and to
confirm the authenticity of my proposal to you also for easy
communication. Once the fund transfer i will come over to your country
on investment negotiation. Please contact through my email;
seranwllm001@yahoo.fr
Thank you so much.
Seran williams
