PLEASE READ AND REPLY BACK SOON - FROM NATALIA MAHDI
Please Treat with respect and urgent.
I am Natalia Mahdi Mamod, I am 19 years old and my brother Mahdi is 17
years old. and we will like to get advice and assistance from you. I believe
the advice we need will be profitable and good . A few year's ago we were in
Myannar with our father who was on a missionary work with a little
congregation where he preached regularly the word of God. On one faithful
Sunday three British Soldiers came to my father and left one trunk box
containing money and swore to come back for it.
When the war intensified my father and me and my brother were escorted to
our country of Seychell Islands by the UN soldiers who felt the contents of
the trunk box were documents and hospital materials and never cared to check
the trunk of box.We were back to the country of cote d ivory where father
was transfered and My father later deposited this box in a financial company
here in the Republic of Cote d' Ivory . witnin these period, father said to
me that two of the three Soldiers died in Battle while the other person was
declared Missing. Unfortunately it was not upto 6 months that we settled
down, my father died of car accident.
Now we have the documents to the fund which according to my father the
soldiers said was USA $4.6 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS, now kept safe in a
Finance Company/firm in the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire (IVORY COAST). Since
we are the only children of our parents, we were contacted through the
address that my father gave to them in a letter by the Finance Company/Firm
asking us to indicate if we were in receipt of there letter as a sign that
we are still alife and still subscribed for their service which we responded
back to.
we am interested only in using a small fraction of this money, much less
than ten percent to go back to our country or you adopt us as your own child
and we will stay with you and you shall take care of us and the money. and
re-establish the work of God, but we do not need the rest since we are still
at School because we do not know what to do with these amount of money.
we have contacted you to help claim the funds out from the security company
and use it for charity or something universally profitable. even though we
have thought of doing it ourself but we cannot because we are still very
tender to handle such amount of money and also we have to concentrate on our
education first which make us not indulgent in reliance on money or wealth
in any form. Also we do not have the money that has accrued or accumulated
on the service and safe deposit of the box by the Finance Firm.
Most importantly, we will so much like that you come down here and see
everythjing yourself so that you will handle it as your mind desires so that
when you are goi_ng back, we will go with you.
Get back to us with your decision and idea so we can give everything about
these over to you.
Sincere Regards,
NATALIA AND MAHDI
