Attention,
My name is Sarah Williams I am 20 years old girl This is a real life message from me, and I beg you to be patient and read through to the end.I was adopted in by Mr. Samuel Williams, A successfull cocoa farmer in Ivory Coast. Mr Samuel Williams died as a result of the political crisis in Ivory Coast.
I loved Mr Samuel Williams for his kindness to me; for taking me out of the motherless baby home and make me his own daughter. He simply adopted me because he had no child on his own.I had no memory of my real parents.
Before the death of Mr Samuel on june 12 2005 he called me on the hospital bed and narrated to me that he has some dollars contented huge amount of money (11.5 million usd.) deposited in the bank here, Ivory Coast capital city Abidjan .
He made me to understand that these funds was deposited in a bank in the capital city Ivory Coast, Abidjan. He also gave me some Authentic Documents regarding the deposited funds. This documents indicated that I am the beneficiary of the funds. He also made me to understand that the officials of this bank do know that he deposited the funds under coded account which is suppense account. He warned me not to reveal this secret to anyone untill I finish my education then I can transfer the funds out from the bank here to oversea and use the money to start living.
Two weeks ago, I received a letter from the bank,The managing director of the bank in his letter apologized to me for waiting so long to contact me; information of my father's death simply did not reach him until a chance newspaper publication alerted him of the fact.I was then invited to come forward to their bank to transfer the funds.
I therefore decided to look for a foreign partner who will help me transfer the funds out from the bank here and arrange for my coming to abroad in your country and at the same time assist me in having good school there in your country also to stay with you and continue my education.
I desperately need your help! I need you to contact the bank on my behalfa's the "CONSIGNEE"; to claim and transfer the funds in your account There is absolutely NO RISK to you; You can reach me through these confidential Email bellow for more intruducation
I am waiting for your response soon.
Sincerely
Miss Sarah Williams
