CYNTHIA MARTINS

COTE D'IVORIE.
Dearest one,
Permit me to inform you of my desire to go into business
relationship with you , l got your name and contact through
the internet here in Abidjan and I prayed over it and
selected your name among other names due to the nature of
my proposal,which requires a reputable and trustworthy
person. Someone who will be kind and sincere to me.
l am Miss cynthia martins, the only daughter of late Mr and
Mrs Nelson martins.My father was a very wealthy cocoa
merchant in Abidjan here, the economic capital of Ivory
Coast, he was poisoned to death by his business associates
on one of their business meeting. My mother died on the
20th october 1988 and my father took me so special because
l am motherless.
Before the death of my father on 29th november 2003 in a
private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on
his bedside,when I sat down to listen to him, he started
crying, why? (1) He complained that I am too young to be
managing my life with no one to take care of me,(2)That I
have not finished my university education as he planned for
me, he revealed to me that he has a sum of
US$8.400.000.(EIGHT MILLION FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS) left in a security company here in
Abidjan, that he used my name as the only daughter for his
next of kin in deposit of the funds. He also explained to
me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisioned
by his business associates , that l should seek for a GOD
fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where l
will transfer this money and use it for proper investment
purpose ,that I must finish my university education by the
help of a business partner abroad,that he or she should
help me obtain a resident permit in his or her country.He
also gave a standing instrution to the company that the
deposit must be transferred outside this country. According
to my father,the money was deposited as art works to avoid
tamparing by the officers of the company.
Sir, I am now ready to do all these since my father my
bread winner is no more. Sir l am honourable seeking your
assistance in the following ways.
(1)To serve as my gaurdian in your country while I will
depend on your expert advise since l am a girl of 23 years.
( 2 )To make arrangement for me to come over to your
country in order to further my university education and to
secure a residential permit for me in your country.
Moreover sir, l am willing to offer you 15% of the total
sum as compensation for your assistance in the transfer of
this deposit to your country. Furthermore, you can indicate
your option towards assisting me as l believed that this
project would be concluded within seven days you signify
interest to assist me by contacting the security company.
Hoping to hearing from you soon. May God bless you as you
extend your helping hand to the needy.
Best wishes
MISS CYNTHIA MARTINS.
