My name is Miss Jennifer Brown Marisa a twenty two years old girl
looking for a trustworthy and sincer ,honest men and women 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, $15.2Million USD, for onward transfer to a security company in
Europe.Me and my brother have met with the bank director who has certified
our claims to the money which was transfered to the security company. We
have all the documents concerns this money in the security company,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, 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,I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following
ways:
(1) To help me remove the money in the security company
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 22years.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further
my education and to secure a resident permit in your country.
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..
May God bless you. PLEASE CONTACT ME THROUGH MY PRIVATE EMAIL
