I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE
My name is Miss Jennifer Brown Marisa a twenty two years old girl looking for a trustworthy and sincer ,honest like you who can help us in this time of needs.
My father is Dr Johnson Osy Marisa, , a business man who deal more especially on diamond and ground nut in the republic of Cote d’Ivoire. During the civil and political crisis in our country, my parents together with my three sister were posioned by heartless elements that called themselves his business partners after returning from a business trip in spain . Fortunately for me and my younger brother, we were in our school when this tragedy took place to our family . We were in coma for almost two weeks. But I thank the almighty God because I never knew that I could support the shock of losing almost my whole family. That is by the way. Right now I am still here in Cote d’Ivoire with my only remaining brother but very unsafe for us. We are
living in great fear and bondage. I intend leaving this country as soon as possible but only one thing kept me back. My late father has deposited with one of the prime bank the sum of money, $5.2Million USD, for onward transfer to any bank abroad
But unfortunately he did not complete the transaction before he died. Me and my brother have met with the bank director who has certified our claims to the money. We have all the documents concerns this money in the bank and receipt of deposit with which my late father made the deposit,we have mapped out 15% out of the total money for your help and asistance
because it looks stupid for me trying to confide in a total stranger I never met before . By instinct I am convinced you are an honest man and you have the capacity to handle this transaction with me. As soon as it is done, I will come over with my brother to meet you and spend the rest of our lives in your country. I wish to invest the money into estate business and other good business you may propose. I promise to greatly compensate you for any assistance you may offer us. I do not know how you may feel about this but I want you to take this very serious and confidential. Down here, I am living in fear because enemies of my parents are hunting for me. Please let me know your mind concerning my proposal to you.marisafamily10@yahoo.com <mailto:you.marisafamily10@yahoo.com>
.
May God bless you. with her loving arms
Miss Jennifer Marisa
