Dear,
Good day and which i believe you will be of great assistants to me that will make the beginning ofnever-endingfamily relationship. I hope that this proposal will not be an inconvenience or embarrassment to you.I must not hesitate to confide in you this simple and sincere business.
My name is vivian , I am 18 years of age, the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs Michael, from Nshili District of Gikomgoro Province in Republic of Rwanda. My father before his death was a prosperous Cocoa and Gold merchant in Kigali, Republic of Rwanda before his untimely death, after his business trip to Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire, to negotiate on a Cocoa and Gold business he wanted to invest in Abidjan - Coted'Ivoire.
My mother died when I was little ,and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on 12th November 2002 he told me that he has the sum of six million,three hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$6.300.000) deposited in a security company in Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire, that he wanted to use this fund to invest his cocoa business in Ivory Coast. After the burial of my late father i came down to Abidjan and went to the security company where the fund is deposited with all the documents regarding to the deposit of the fund that was given to me by my late father. But because of the unstable political problems here last year I instructed the security company to transfer the consignment to their affilliate office in Europe, the fund is presently in Europe now waiting for clearance. I am just 18 years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do.Now I want you to help me claim and transfer the fund for investment in your country
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 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.
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
custody. Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
posible.

Thank you so much and God bless you.
My sincere regards,
Miss Vivian Micheal,
