My name is Miss.Alima Ahmed the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.Ali Ahmed., My father was a highly reputable busnness magnate who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. I'm a deaf girl. It is sad to say that my father passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad in the year 20th.Febuary 2007, 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 10 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death, he called his secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has United State Dollars (USD$6.2 Million) left in a private Security Company here in Abidja and that he used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin when he deposited the money. He also explained to me that it was becauseof this wealth that he was posisoned. He also gave an out standing instrution to the company that the Consignment must be sealed and well kept until i ask for it. and it was deposited as an atifact to avoid problem or tamparing by the officers of the company.
I am just 20 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.i want you to assist me retrieve this consignment box which contain US$6.2 Million from the security company. after the transaction i will come and live with you as a partner, i'm ready to do anything of your choice.
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 and i wished to investe under your care and advise. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards.
Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to ask these few questions1. Can you honestly help me as your partner?can i completely trust you that you can not betray me? 3.What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your control?.
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible with your full contact informations which i will send to the security company where the said consignment is presently deposited.
Your's Sincerly,
Miss.Alima Ahmed.
