Dear one,
May the blessings of God be with you. I first thank you for the opportunity to discuses with you. I am Casmin Komath 17 years and my sinior sister Brenda Komath 19 years. We are the children of late Dr. Komath Mardi. We are orphans being that we lost our mother at a very tender age and our father took us so special because we are motherless. Our father was the director of the Cocoa exporting board in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He died on October (2006) through food poison given to him by some undisclosed people who i greatly suspect to be his business associates in one of their outings on a business trip in Bouake to negotiate for the purchase of a coffee plantation.
Before his death, he deposited the sum of $7.500.000.00 Miliion USA Dollars in a Finance House and he left an instruction that the money is strictly for investments aboard and to be released to me when I am upto 25 years or above because he used my name as the next of kin in depositing the fund.
Because of the hostile behavior of my fathers relatives and there constant threats to kill us, we had to run away with the deposit documents to a nearby village where no one would know or identify us. They have collected from us my fathers car and house because the are our elders, there was nothing we could do than to run for our dear life's. i decided to make haste to see that these money is transfered to your account in your country so that we can leave these country before something bad happens to us. It is on these situation that we contacted you for your assistance to transfer this fund out to your country. We want you to do us this favor. We want you to be our guardian and assist us receive this fund in your account for investment in your country and also to assist us come over to your country to continue our education.

Apart from this, after the successful transfer of this fund to your account, we will give you 25% of the total fund for your cordial assistance and 15% for charity homes like the less privileged because that was the vow we made to God and 5% for any expenses which you may incure in course of this transaction. Please note that this money shall be under your care until we finish our education because my late father advised us not to follow money first. He said that Eduction is the Key to success.
