Dear Respectful one
,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I am Miss sussan the only daughter of late Mr. and Mrs. Hussam Abdulahim. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan , the economic capital of Ivory coast, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on 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 December 29 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of seven million, five hundred thousand united state dollars (USD.7,500,000) deposited in one of the Security Finance Company here in Abidjan ,that he used my name as his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund as family valuables.
But due to the political problem here that cost the death of many people since 19th september 2002 here in cote d'ivoire, He instructed the security company to transfer the box that contained the money to Eruope Where they have a their collecting centre. Now the money is in Spain for safe-keeping. I am now looking for a worthy and God fearing person who will help me to retrieve the box that contains the money from the Security Company collecting centre in (Spain) and invest it under his care as I am an ignorant of investment.
For your information , the security company did not know the real content of the box and I don't want them to know until we retrieve the money from their custody and transferred it to your account. As it was deposited as family valuables for security reasons. 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 good foreign partner in a country of my choice who will assist me for investment purpose.
I am honourably seeking for your assistance in the following ways:
(1)To stand as my late father's foreign partner before the security company. (2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 21years.
(3)To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a residence permit in your country.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful clearing and claiming of the fund from the security company. Furthermore, Please indicate your interest for I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen(14) working days from the day you signify your interest to assist me.
