Dear,
I got your contact when i was searching for a good honest and reliable person. i prayed over it and decided to reveal to you my problem. I am Miss Doris Abbey (22 years old) the only Child of late Dr and Mrs. Amos Joshua Abbey. my father was a very wealthy Gold/Diamond dealer in Freetown, the economic capital of Sierra Leone. my father was poisoned to death by his close business associates on one of their outings on a business trip. my mother died 17 years ago.He was also playing the role of a mother to me too.
Before the death of my father , in a private hospital in Freetown, he secretly called me by his bed side and told me of a deposit of $5,000,000,00 united state dollars (FIVE MILLION DOLLARS)he concealed in a metallic box and deposited with a finance security company in Abidjan,the economic capital of cote d'Ivoire.He warned me that because of envy that he was poisoned by his close associates. He also advised me to seek for an honest foreigner in a country of my choice those associates will not hurt me as they have succeeded in poisoning him. For yourinformation ,it has been difficult to know who is an honest person to assist me in this transaction,and i decided to make a try on you.
I arrived Abidjan,Republic of Cote D'Ivoire,a nearby country since my uncle wants to kill me because of this certificate of deposits as he have suceeded in collecting all my father's property left behind. He and his wife always punish me away and have made life very difficult for me .His wife served me a poisoned rice meal, but for the devine mercy, her daughter secretly whispered to me not to eat the meal because there is poison in the rice. i wasted the meal to the bin only to find two dead rat on the bin the following morning and that made me to run away immediately to abidjan,the economy capital city of ivory coast. And i don't want to stay long here in abidjan since i don't know anybody here and no much money to pay for my hotel bill.
Dear, i honourably seek your assistance to hurry up and come down here in abidjan so that i will take you to the finance security company where my late father deposited the money so that i will introduce you and you will help me clear the money and we will go together to a nearby bank and open a new account in your name and transfer the money immediately from the bank to your bank account in your country and together i will enter plane with you and go back to your country with you so that i can continue my education over there and you will help me invest the money in your country. i haveagreed to compensate you with 20% of the total money.
Thank you as i expecte your reply immediately you receive this email.
Yours Faithfully,
Miss Doris Abbey.
