Hello dear,
The sudden death of my father,I have been subjected to physical and psychological torture by the security agents in my country which I do believe must have been an under grand work from other members of my late father. As an orphan that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody within the country.
It is sad to say that my father passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 28th.October 2003.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 October 28 2003 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of Ninteen million,seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$19.700,000) left in a storage company here,and he also told this man that he used my name as the next of kin to the deposited fund.Though I am just 19 years old girl and an university undergraduate.
Now I need you as my overseas partner so that you will me rescure this my inheritage,and also to have a directives sense of investment that will be good for the fund, and after the transaction i will like to 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 custody while i go into education? Please Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
sincere regards,
Miss Fatima Desai
