Hi
I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs.michael D, miller. My
father was a highly reputable busnness magnet who operated in the capital
of Ivory coast during his days.I'm a deaf girl.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of
his business trips abroad on the 12th September 2003. Though his sudden death
was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his
who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died
when I was just 6yrs old, and since then my father took me so special.
Before his death on September 2003, he called me and informed me that he
has the sum of Five Million, Seven Hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$5,700,000.00)left
in fixed deposit account in one of the leading banks in Africa. He further
told me that he deposited the money in my name, and also gave me all the
necessary but legal documents to this fund with the bank.
I am just 21 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know
what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds
and after the transaction I will come and reside permanently in your country
till such a time that it will be convinient for me to return back home if
I so
desire. 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 also want to invest the fund under your care
because I am ignorant of business world.
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 from your heart?
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. Immedaitely
I confirm your willingness, I will send to you my Picture and also inform
you more details involved in this matter.
Kind Regards,
Miss carol miller.
