Dearest Friend,
I am very sorry if I have bothered you by my email.
I am Danielle Kome .I am a 18 years old girl from Southern Sudan.
My father's name is Solomon Kome who was very wealthy . He was a gold and cocoa merchant who was based in Abidjan where we fled the war in my country.
My mother's name is Sheila and I am the only child.
When i was a kid i went to a private school and things were going on well for me and my parents till when i was in high school when my mother died on the 21ST october 2001 , My father took me so special because i am motherless and all that was left for him. He shower all his love on me and promised me that he will never
have me suffer as long as he lived.
My life changed when he took ill complaining of stomach ache as he got home from buisiness and died the following day in St Maphy Clinic here in Abidjan on the 12th of December 2006.
Before he died,he called me secretly to his bed side and told me that he kept a sum of $8.450 000 (Eight million four hundred and fifty th thousand united states dollars) in a bank in Abidjan Cote D'ivoire.
He said he used my name as the next of kin in deposit of the fund.He also explained to me that it was because of this money he was poisoned by his business partner and that i should seek for foreign partner in a country of my choice where i would transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, such as;real estate investment or stock market investment.
Please, i am begging you for assistance as follows.
1) To provide a bank account where this money will be transfered into.
2) To serve as the guardian of these fund ,since i am 18years old.
3)To make arrangement for me in your country to continue my educational
career and to procure me a residential permit in your country.
I am inclined to offer you 15% of the total sum as a mode of
compensation for your effort after the successful transfering of these fund to
your nominated account overseas.Please i will be very happy if this
transaction will be concluded with in seven (7) working days from now.I am
expecting to hear from you as soon as possible.
God be with you
Danielle
