Subject: Dearest One.
*Dearest One.*
* First and foremost and brief self introduction,I am Tema Johnson the only
daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Johnson.
It is sad to say that I lost my father and he passed away mysteriously in
France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th.Feb. 2006.Though
his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by
an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 11 years old,and since then my father took me
so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2006 he secretly called me aside
and told me that he had a sum of $10 Million US DOLLARS ( TEN MILLION USA
DOLLARS) kept in 1 trunk box with a private security company in
(AFRICA)here in Abidjan Ivory Coast West Africa.
He also said that the security company does not know the content of the safe
Box.He decleared it as family treasure and used my name to Deposit the money
as his first daugther for next of kin. He also explained to her that it was
because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business assocaites, That
I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will
transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.
I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as
a beneficiary of the fund,and also use it for an investment purpose.
I am just a tennage high school girl and later drop out, hence I could not
afford educational financial aspect to further my education due to my lack
of parental absence,really I don't know what to! do.Now I want an account
overseas where I can transfer this funds int o for investment purpose and
for my bright future sake. This is because I have suffered a lot of set
backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The
death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Beside I'm corresponding with you from my country here in Cote D'Ivoire West
Africa and moreso there is great political war going on here in my country,
that is the main reason why I contacted you to help me in getting me and my
only inheritance out of this country so that I may not loosed my life and
the inheritance to war in this country, infact I'm facing hard difficulty at
the moment even in the area of feeding as no one knows what might happened
next in this country.
Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this
regards Your suggestions *
**
*Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
*
*1. Can you honestly help me as your friend or as life partner?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible,*

*Your's in Love,*
*Tema Johnson*
