facing the world as a whole.
please do 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 Hellen Akos Koffi, (17years old) from Cote d'Ivoire, and the only
child of Late Mr. & Mrs.John
koffi. My father was a very wealthy cocoa and gold merchant in Cote
d'Ivoire.
He was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings
on a business trip and My
mother died when i was a baby. Before the death of my father on December.
2006 in a private hospital in
Cote d'Ivoire, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has
the sum of Thirteen million
seven hundred and fifty thousand United States Dollars USD ($13,750,000)
deposited in a bank in Accra
Ghana.
He told me that he used my name (Hellen Akos Koffi) 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.
I am presently in Ghana,where the money is deposited by my late father and
finally i decided to take
quick actions and have this money retrieved out of the country Ghana.
I am presently taking shelter in a church since my uncles have collected all
my fathers properties
saying that i am a female child that i do not have any rite in the family.
That is why i need your urgent assistance to transfer this money out to your
country and I will 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 see that this money
is retrieve from the bank.
(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and then settle
there parmanently.
I am willing to offer you, 15% 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 contact information of the bank, for
