Subject: A CRY FOR HELP.
Dear,
I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you but do consider it as an emergency. In a nut shell, My name is Miss Lissette Beka.I am 23 years old from the republic of ivory-coast (West Africa), now seeking for refugee in Dakar(Senegal) under the(UNHCR).The only child of late Dr.Solomon Beka.
I am looking for someone who can take me as a friend/child or anything. I promise to be obidient to you and I will bring happiness to your life.I want you to assist me in this transaction. My late father was a former deputy during the regime of late President Robert Guei.But he was killed along side with my mother during the long civil war and all our properties were totally lotted and destroyed.
However, after their death I managed to escape with very important files of my late father which contains a very huge amount of money .He has the sum of (US$2.7M)Two million seven hundred thousand U.S Dollars which was deposited by my late father in one of the leading Security Company/Bank. The deposit documents indicate me as the next of kin.
Presently, I am saddled with the problem of securing a trust worthy foreign personality to help me and claim the money since the bank denied me the right to claim the money as per my status as a refugeer here in senegal. I will map out 10% for you by helping me to secure the money, and thus you will help me to come over there in your country to live with you after claiming the money,since my aim is to further my education in abroad.
Now what i really want you to do for me is,
(1) Stand on my behalf as the beneficiary for the claim of the
inheritance from the bank since the management of the bank adviced that I should solicit for an individual or corporate organization to claim the deposit for me as they cannot release it directly to me due to my refugee status in senegal.
(2)Transfer the money over to your own country and into your possession pending my arrival to meet with you.
(3)Invest and manage the money for me in a good business pending my maturity.
(4) Help me secure my travelling documents to meet you as soon as my money is released to you.
Furthermore,you can contact the Bank for confirmation and I will issue a letter of authorisation on your name,that will enable the bank correspond with you on my behalf.I am giving you this offers as mentioned with every confidence on your acceptance to assist me or adopt me as your Child if possible and manage the money for me.
Conclusively,I wish you send me a reply immediately you recieve this proposal via my email address, lissy_beka@yahoo.com.
Until then,I remain with the best
Stay Blessed.
Lissette
