Hello Dear Friend,
I know that this letter might be a suprise to you but do consider it as emergency I know its by God's intervention and we become friends. i like to share something private with you but i really hope i find you has a sincere and honest person. let me tell you all about myself.
Am Oriane Alex. i hold a certificate in general Nursing i am 25 years old , once married but now a widow, and i don't have children. i am average height, my picture will tell more about my physical appearance.
I was married to a successful Footballer in the Asian Continent named Daniel ALEX. he died of food posioning when he visited a friend of his in Cape Verde. ever since his death life has really been difficult for me. I was opportuned one day as i was cleaning the house before i left Cape Verde to see the document of deposited fund he made with my name has next of kin in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire He deposited the sum of 7.Million Usd in financial firm with my name as the next of kin and i had to relocate to Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire in order to make this claim. His family members chased me away and seized other of his properties because i had no child for him before he died. I have tried to get the fund released to me here in Abidjan but they asked me to find a capable trustee who can help me in transfering the fund because the bond certificate my husband signed with the bank was that money should be released to me 5 years after his death. its only two years now.
The director of the bank advised me to get a foriegn trustee who will help me transfer the money into his account to allow me have access to the funds quickly. This is the reason why i have contacted you to assist me in transferring the fund to your country while you will help me to relocate and be with you and also help me to invest the fund in business that will be profit oriented to us.
I shall be willing to stay with you, if you will be honest to me. i shall give to you 30% of the funds if you will assist me. staying in Abidjan is more than being in a prison yard. I want you to keep this matter secretly between us to avoid jealousy from people, and so that people will not have bad plans for us till we suceed in everything. I need an urgent response ,indicating your willingness and ability to help me make this claim of my inheritance and your future plans to enable me have a better life stay blessed
Hope to hear from you soon
Best Regard
Oriane
