Hi Sweatheart.
I am Alice Churchil the only daughter of Mr& Mrs
Churchil.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in
France during one of his business trips abroad year
25th.Febuary 2002.Though his sudden death was linked
or rather suspected to have been master minded by an
uncle of his, who travelled with him at that time. But
God knows the truth!My mother died when I was just 6
years old,and since then my father took me so special.
Before his death on Febuary 25 2002 he called the
secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told
him that he has the sum of Sixten million,seven
hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$16.700,000)
left in fixed deposit account in one of the leading
banks in Africa.
He further told him that he deposited the money in my
name,and finally issued a written instruction to his
lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the
necessary but legal documents to this fund and the
bank.
I am just 21 years old and an university undergraduate
and really don't know what to do.
Now I need an overseas account where I can transfer
this funds and after the transaction i will come and
live with you and 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 please.
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 questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me?
2. Can I completely trust you? .
What percentage of the total amount in question will
be good for you after the money is in your account
while i finalers my education? Please,Consider this
and get back to me as soon as possible.
sincere regards,
Miss Alice
