Subject: DEAR I PLEAD FOR YOUR URGENT HELP
From:Sarah JohnsonRepublic Of Cote D'Ivoire.
Greetings Dear,I know this mail may come to you as a surprise, since we have not seen or know each other before. I Came across your profile and have Decided to get in touch with you after praying, to see if you can help me solve my problem. I am 23 years old girl i was born in COTE D'IVOIRE WEST AFRICA, And i schooled at library but i couldn't finish my education because of the thing of the world, I have no brother nor sister, i lost my mother when i was 6years old but i can't tell a story of my mother. i was living with my father but in the year 2005 on 7th of June i lost my father in Kumo hospital by 9.30 am of that fatefull day, But i MUST tell you the comment of the doctor,who told me that he (MY FATHER)was poisoned, but i know that it MUST be my uncle that poisoned my father because of his wealths, i say this because after the death of my father he turned against me because my father has alot of money ,and because of that my wicked uncle wants to collect all of my father's belongings. my father's name is Mr Adams Johnson, who was the director general of cocoa export corporation of Cote D'ivoire.
Now he has taken all the property, and sent me out of our family house Because he found out that my father deposited $8.7 Million US Dollars (EIGHT MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS),which he depositad in a Fixed/Suspens Account here in a bank in Cote D'ivoire and he deposited it with my name as the only child as the next of kin, But he gave the Bank condition for the release of the fund which are as follows:
(1) That I must be 23 years or above.(2) That upon request for the release of the fund, there must be evidence of investment intentions especially outside the west Africa with contact of a foreign beneficiary to stand as a co-beneficiary. Now my uncle is going around Cote D'ivoire looking for me to collect all the documents that covers this money, note that my father told me that i should not give it to any body or show it to any body but it should be the one that i trust who will help me to retrieve the money and invest this money properly,NOW i want you to help me to transfer this money into your account and help me come over to your country for a new life.
i will send you my picture and the deposit certificate in my next mail but we must do this with trust. and i will also give you the bank contact where the money was deposited.
Am waiting to hear from you. Miss Sarah
