mother died when i am a baby and that made my father took me so special.
Before the death of my father in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand United State Dollars USD ( $4,800.000.00 ) which he deposited in a suspense account in one of the big banks here in
Abidjan.
He told me that he used my name as the next of Kin in depositing 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 our country,Cote
D'Ivoire) that willl assist me in the wise investment of the money since the money is in the bank with the view of making use of it for investment purposes after my education carrier here.
I have also vacated from my father's house due to my safety, and as i am writting to you now, i am currently staying in a church with one Pastor Michael whom acepted me to stay in his church for the mean time after i have explained everything that happened to me and my condition of life at the
moment. i want to stay here in thisch church temporary until i finds someone that will be of good help to me I want to transfer this money 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:

(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 to me, i need not to discuss 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, 20 % of the total money as compensation for your
assistance.
Please tell me how you feel about the percentage i offered, if is not ok by you. As soon as i receive your concrete assurance to assist me with the proposal and also your full contact address/phone number, i will then give you the bank contact information where the money is still lying unclaimed
so that you can contact them for more clearifications also to proceed and transfer the money into your account while i come over to stay with you parmanently after the transfer of the fund.
The bank will then proceed and communicate with you on the transfer. You shall then give me information on when thetransfer 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 plead you to keep this highly secret for my safety, as i believe that those that killed my father are still after me.
Thanks and God bless you .
