Subject: FROM Miss Asha Minhas
ATTN
Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for you-this
however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel
you to honour against your will.
I am Asha Minhas 21years old and the only daughter of my
late parents Mr.and
Mrs. Minhas.My father was a highly reputable busnness
magnet-(a cocoa merchant)who operated in the capital of
Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he
passed away mysteriously in France during one of his
business trips abroad year 12th.Feb 03.Though his sudden
death was linked or rather suspected to have been
masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at
that time. But God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 4 years old,and since then
my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary
12 2003 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the
hospital and told her that he had a sum of 12.500,000 US
DOLLARS (twelve. five) MILLION USA DOLLARS)kept in a
security company in (ABIDJAN),Cote D'ivoire,branch
(EUROPE).
He also said that the security company does not know the
content of the safe Box.He decleared it as family treasure
and used my name to Deposit the money as his first daugther
for next of kin. He also explained to her that it was
because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business
associates, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a
country of my choice where I will transfer this money to
and use it for investment purposes.
I want you to assist me in clearing this box(fund)from the
security company and then tranfer the fund into your
account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use
it for an ivestment purpose. I am just 21 years old and a
university undergraduate and really don't know what to
do.Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this
funds.
This is 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.
Dearest one,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 as your daughter?
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 account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible.
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Miss Asha Minhas.
