Dear One,
For my safety and security of my future I am making this proposal to you for our mutual benefit. This however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour it against your will. I am MISS ROSEMARY ZAKY, 23years old and the only child of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.THOMAS ZAKY.And i have one adorpetd brother. My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously during one of his business trips abroad on the 12th.Febuary 2002. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary 12th, 2002 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Four mill!
ion, Five hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$4.500,000) MILLION DOLLARS deposited in a PRIVATE BANK in here in my contry.
He further told him that he deposited the funds with my name as the next of kin, and finally told him to tell me where to find the documents of the deposit which he said was in possession of his lawyer in sealed documents held by him and asked me to collect it from him and all the necessary documents to this fund. I am just 23 years old and a second year university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.
Now I want a trust worthy person who can help me provide an account overseas where I can transfer this funds and assist me to come over to his country so that i can further my educations inother to have a better financail education that will enable me not to make poor money decissions later in life that might take many years to over come.And some one i can call my own.
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.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 take me as your own and help me.
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible so that i can forward the documents to you after we have agreed on the conditions for your assistance. My life is not safe here and i need to be out of here as soon as possible because now that my father is dead and with me only as a male child, my uncles will be seeking to kill me so that they can have all my fathers properties. i really don't want to struggle anything with them in terms of properties but my presence will still be disturbing them. thank God they are not aware of this funds, I want to leave here as soon as you help me to me to receive the total money in your cooperate account and then send me some amount to enable me prepare to meet you. Without your help, i will find it difficult to travel with my little or no experience.
I am waiting for your urgent reply with your contact phone number so that i can give you the contact of the bank for you to contact them as if you are my GUIADIAN. Beacuse i will be going to inform them about you.
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards
Awaits your very urgent reply.
Miss Rose Mary Zaky
