Dearest One ,

I am Hussam Mattin, 18 years old the only daugther of late Mr. and Mrs Peters Mattin My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan - Coted' I voire ,
My father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their business trips. My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special.
Before the death of my father on 1 February 2003 in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of ten million,
United State Dollars ($10.,000) left in a fixed / suspense account in one of the Banks,
that he used my name as his only Daugther as the next of Kin in depositing the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of his wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates.
He therefore advised me to seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice at my convineant time so as to transfer this money and use it for investment purposes such as real estate management or hotel management.....
I kept this secret to people where i live ,
Dear, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways: (1) To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred to ..... (2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 18 years .... (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. Moreover,I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your EFFORTS/INPUTS after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account overseas..... Pls.it is important that you note I do not know much about financial trasaction and my wish is for you to direct me well while I hope and pray that you will not betray me at last.Thank you and God bless you while I look forward to reading from you promptly towards giving you the related documents and the contact of the bank......
