From Miss Joy Moses
I am Joy Moses, i am 19, My mother was an African American while my father was from the french speaking colony of Cote D' Ivoire, i was living with my mother not too far from Charleston building, 601 57th Street, Charleston West Virginia USA. And i attended Charleston High School, 1201 Washington Street E, Charleston, WV. I lost my mother sometimes ago and after her death i came to meet my father for the very first time in Cote d' Ivoire West Africa, though he was also living in the state before he relocated back to Cote d' Ivoire to set up a business.
Exactely two months and one week after i came to meet my father with the help of US consulates he died, he was very sick when i came to meet him. But before his death there were some document he gave to me and he told me that everything he worked for in his life time is in the document when i crosscheck the document i discovered that my late father deposited $ 4.5 Million dollars (Four million five hundred thousand US dollars)in a box deposited with a security company here in Ivory Coast as a family property.and the security company do not know that the content of the box is money.this he did for security reason and made an aggrement with the security company that it will only be his business partner that will have right to make claims over the box incase of death though no name was given.this is to enable me choose someone who can stand as a business partner and to avoid my uncles not to have access to the fund,since women do not inherit anything from the family. Another reason why he deposited the money in the security company was because of the political problem in my country.While I am telling you all this is that i am just a girl and there is little or nothing i could do on my own and again if my late fathers relatives find out that my late father left this kind of money in my care i don't know what they might do to me, so i need you to help me contact the security as my late father's business patner and ask them the modalities of retriveing the box,so that you can assist me safegaurd the box and invest it for me in a profitable business in your country.I promise to offfer 20% of the total money for helping me. Please i request for your trust and understanding because it might sound unbeleivable but it is the truth, Please get back to me as soon as posible.
Sincerely Yours,
Miss Joy Moses
