From:Miss.Gumsu Abacha.
Lome Rep.Togo.
Good day and how are you today? I hope fine,Permit me
to inform you of my desire of asking you to be a
guardian or foster parent to me and then help me out
in what I am about to tell you. I'm Miss.Gumsu Abacha
(18years old) from Cote d'Ivoire, and the only child
of Late Mr. & Mrs. AHMED ABACHA. My father was a very
wealthy cocoa merchant here in Cote d'Ivoire.
He was poisoned to death by his business associates on
one of their outings on a business trip. My mother
died when I was a baby. Before the death of my father
on Sept. 2005 in a private hospital there in Cote
d'Ivoire, he secretly called me by his bed side and
told me that he has the sum of Eight million two
hundred thousand United States Dollars USD
($8.200,000) deposited in a suspense account in one
bank in Lome Rep.Togo. He told me that he used my
name (Gumsu Abacha) as the next of Kin to deposit the
money. He then strongly advised me NOT to seek for
assistance in the investment of the money from his
lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a
foreign partner from any country of my choice (outside
my country,Cote d'Ivoire ) that will assist me in the
wise investment of the money.I have since left the
money in the bank with the view of making use of it
for investment purposes after my educational carrier.
But as you may be already aware by now, my country
Cote 'Ivoire )
is presently at war caused by political crises. Rebels
have already taken over the whole Northern part of the
country and making efforts towards the capture of the
commercial center of the
country( Cote d'Ivoire),I am presently in Lome
Rep.Togo, where the money was deposited by my late
father and finally decided to take quick actions to
contact you and have this money transferred out of the
country Togo that is why I need your urgent assistance
to transfer it out of the country and I will use it
for
investment purpose like real estate management or
hotel management Because of this I am honorably
seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To be my guardian and then assist me financialy to
transfer the money into your bank account.
(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your
country to further my education and then settle there
parmanently.
I am willing to offer you, 30% of the total money as
compensation for your assistance. Please let me know
if you feel the percentage I offered is not ok by
you.As soon as I recieve your full assurance and
corporation,I will then give you the bank contact
information and then tell them to transfer the money
into your account as I want to come over to stay with
you parmanently. You shall then be giving me
information on when the transfer will be over.
I shall also send my picture to you and shall also
need yours too.
No matter what your decision may turn out to be,please
I beg you to reply to my strictly on this my private
email address
Thanks and God bless you.
Regards,
Miss.Gumsu Abacha.
