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 orfoster parent to me and then help me out in what I am about to tell you. I'm Miss.Halima Gabriel from Cote d'Ivoire, and the only child of Late Mr. & Mrs. GABRIEL AHMED 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 Sept. 2005 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 Eight million two hundred thousand United States Dollars US($8.200,000) deposited in a finance and security company in Lome Rep.Togo. He told me that he used my name (Halima Gabriel ) 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 finance and security company 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 'Ivoire ) is presently at war caused bypolitical 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 Lome Rep.Togo, where the money was deposited by my late father and finally decided to take quick actions to contact you and have this money transferred out of the country Togo 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 financialy 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, 30% 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 finance and security company contact information to enable then commence the changes in your name.
Thanks and God bless you.
Regards,
Miss.Halima Gabriel.
