This few words to you are because of the need to invest in your country through your assistance . My name is, Evelyen Osafo-Maafo, i am 20 years of age, and i'm the only daughter of former Ghanaian minister of finance, Mr Yaw Osafo Maafo. Although he was sacked by President John Kufuor on 28

My late father and my mother, they had a terrible car accident on their way coming back from the village where they attended my late grand mother funeral ceremony, back to Accra the capital City of Ghana, and they died in a accident, (may their soul rest in perfect peace) As matter of fact, but
one week before this accident , my father told me secretly that he has garanted my future by depositing for me a metallic box , in a Security Company in Ivory Coast (West Africa) , this box contains the sum of $ 9millions USD.
After the death of my parents i came in Ivory Coast to the security company here in Abidjan, to verify every thing , and after verification in the security company, i was ensured that the metallic box is there. My problem is that when i came to collect the metallic box, the director told me that
my late father made agreement with them that only a foreign partner can retrive the metallic box.You have to know that i have no more family and it is very dificult for me because i don't have enough experience and i don't want anybody to betray me. So since this day i can not sleep that's why i
cantacted you to help me to retrive the metallic box of the fund, to your country and help me to invest the money in your country.
1.Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
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? So on my next mail i will give you the contact of the Security Company for you to communicate with them as my foreign partner.
I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach. Any question you wish
to ask concerning this transaction, do not delay to ask me.
My sincere regards
Evelyen Osafo Maafo.
