Dearest One
Good a thing to write you.I have a proposal for you this is however not

I got your name and contact from the internet when i was searching for
a reliable and trustworthy person and I prayed over it and selected
your

recommendations
given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person that can help me out
of this dificulties and by the recommendation , I must not hesitate to
confide in you for this simple and sincere help .
I am Miss Sonia Obudu the only child of late Mr.and Mrs. Johnson Obudu

capital of Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to death by his business
associates on one of their outings on a business trip .
My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so
special.
Before the death of my father on 12 febuary 2003 in a private hospital
here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that
he has the sum of seventy million ,seven hundred thousand United State
Dollars.USD($70.700,000) left in a suspense account in one of the
prime
bank here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only child for the
next
of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me that it was
because
of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates. That I
should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i
will
transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as Real
Estate
managment.
I am just 22years old and a university undergraduate.I have suffered a
lot of set backs as a result of members of my late father's family who
has not stop disturbing me about the where about of this fund after
they
have succeded in claiming almost all the valuable properties that he
left
behind for me, coupled with incessant political crisis here in Ivory
coast.
The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Please, I am honourably seeking your assistance in thefollowing ways:
(1) To provide a bank account into which this money would be
transferred
to .
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 22 years.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further
my education and to secure a resident permit in your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 10% of the total sum as
compensation
for your effort/input after the successful transfer of this fund into
your
nominated account overseas.
Anticipating to hear from you soon.
Thanks and God bless.
