Good Day
My name is Miss Aicha Bamba the only daugther of late Mr and Mrs Bamba Kone
of the blessed memory My father was avery wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan,
the economic capital of Ivory Coast,and international markets. My father was
poisoned to death by his business associates in 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 jenuary 2003 in a private hospital here in
Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has the
sum of USD8.000,000(Eight Million United States Dollars) deposited in a
fixed/suspense account in one of the prime banks here in Abidjan, that he
used my name as his only dauther as the next of kin in depositing 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 management or hotel
management.
I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following 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
21years old
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country
to further my education and to secure a resident permit for me in your
country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for
your effort/input after the successful transfer of this fund into your
nominated account overseas and 10% for expencis.
Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe
that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you
signify interest to assist me.

Thanks and God bless!
