Hi Dearest,
I got your contact information’s through a friend finder site on the internet, After reading
your profile I decided to contact you. I know that this mail will come to
you as a surprise but I will like you to take this as one of the things
people over come on this earth. And I know that it is God that led me to
get your contact so that you will be of help to me. Before I will go on let
me introduce my self to you so that you will be able to know me well.
My name is Miss Vivian Irene Edward from Guinea Bissau in West Africa I was
born in the United states as my parents were living there
My mother died when I was only 7 yrs and I am the only daughter to my parents
so when I was 9yrs my father took me to west in africa where he Established a company
since then I am with my father till on the 1st of January 2006 my father
died as a result of poison from his business associates. After his death is business associates
told me that my father took aloan from the bank and as a result of this that he lost his company and
his assets. I know that all this are lies but cannot due any thing due to my financial situation and age.
But i thank God that none of them knows about the deposit made by my late father with a security firm.
I have in my custody the some depository documents that my father used to
deposit a huge sum of US$12,000 000.00 in a trunk box with a security company here in Cote d'Ivoire
in and know one knows about this .My father disclosed this to
me in the hospital because I am his only child and he told me that he wants to use this
money to Establish another company in overseas and he hand over the
documents to me and tell me that in case anything happens to him in any way
that I have to take this document and look for a foreigner from oversea,
who will help me to claim this trunk box from the security company and send
it out from this country to his or her country for investment. And he told me that I
should not let the security company to know about the content in the trunk
box because the security company did not know any thing that is in the
trunk box because he told them that it is family valuables containing Goldbars and Jewellries.
I have been to the security company for enquiry on how to release the
box but they requested for my father's foreign partner as the agreement they reached with my father
during the deposit of this box. Without you standing as the foreign partner i cannot lay hands on the
box though i am the next of kin to the box i only have authority to introduce my father's foreign partner to the security company.
This why i need you to send to me your full name and address which i will submit to the security company and introduce as my father's foreign partner.
Also send to me your identity card or passport so that i will know you in person.
As soon as i hear from you i will send to you all the required information you will need to assist me in this issue.
Waiting to hear from you
Miss vivian irene edward
