Subject: Urgent Dearest One.
Dearest One,
Good day and how are you today? I hope fine? ,Permit me to inform you of my
desire of asking you to be a guardian or foster parent to me and then help
me out in what i am about to tell you. I'm Wan Issah (23) and the only child
of Late Mr. & mrs. Issah. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant here
in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote D'Ivoire. He was poisoned to death
by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip. My
mother died when i was a baby.
Before the death of my father on Sept. 2005 in a private hospital here in
Abidjan, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has the
sum of Eight million,five hundred thousand United States Dollars USD
($8.500,000) deposited in a suspense account in well know bank in Malaysia
He told me that he used my name (Wan)as the next of Kin to deposit the
money. He then strongly advised me NOT to seek for assistance in the
investment of the money from his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to
seek for a foreign partner from any country of my choice (outside my
country,Cote D'Ivoire) that will assist me in the wise investment of the
money.I have since left the money in the bank with the view of making use of
it for investment purposes after my educational carrier. But as you may be
already aware by now, my country (Cote D'Ivoire) is presently at war caused
by political crises.
Rebels have already taken over the whole Northern part of the country and
making efforts towards the capture of the commercial center of the
country,Abidjan, i'm currently in Uinter Nation (UN) refuge camp in Uinter
kindom (UK). I now want to transfer it out and use it for investment purpose
like real estate management or hotel management Because of this i am
honorably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To be my guardian and then assist me financialy to transfer the money
into your bank account.
(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and then settle there parmanently.
If you accept to stand as my guardian or foster parent, we need not to
discuss on any percentage with you as you have to see the whole money as
yours and then assist me invest it. But if you still want a percentage, I am
willing to offer you, 10 % of the total money as compensation for your
assistance. Please let me know if you feel the percentage i offered is not
ok by you.As soon as i recieve your full assurance and corporation,I will
then give you the bank contact information and then tell them to transfer
the money into your account as i want to come over to stay with you
parmanently. You shall then be giving me information on when the transfer
will be over.I shall also send my picture to you and shall also need yours
too. No matter what your decision may turn out to be, please i beg you to
reply to my strictly on my private email address
Thanks and God bless you
Best regards,
Mr.Wan Issah.
