Miss. Victoria Guei,
Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire.
West Africa.
As you receive this unsolicited mail, and may be doubting and wondering how
I got your mail contact. Well, I got your contact from an operator of an
internet services here in Abidjan, Cote D' Ivoire, hence I decided to write
you, though I did not mention the transaction to her.
I am Victoria Apara Guei, the daughter of the late President Robert Guei
from Abidjan, the Republic of Cote d`ivoire who was assassinated during the
last political problem in cote D`Ivoire in the year 2002. To be direct, my
mother was the first wife of my father having me and my only brother Jacob
before they both divorced, but because of us, when my father became the
president, he deposited the amount of US$ 8 Million for us with a Security
and Finance Company here before he died. My mother died shortly after the
death of my father. we thought that the political problem here will stop so
that we can invest the fund but because of the current crisis again we have
decided to move the fund out of this country for investment.
We need your assistance to move the fund to your Country for investment. To
be very honest and sincere with you, since the sudden death of our parents,
we have contacted two people from Denmark and Greece to assist us in this
very matter, but due the fraudulent activites going on in the world through
the internet today and otherwise, all the people we contacted felt we are
not for real. that is why we are writing you this mail.
It might interest you to know that all arrangement to get the funds to
Europe was almost concluded with the Security Company before the death of
our parents. all we need right now is to get your conscent and the
consignment will be moved to you without delay.
Thanks and bye for now.
Yours truly,
Miss. Victoria Apara Guei
