Subject: Urgent Please.
Goodday,
I know it looks really strange for you to receive this email from me. Before I go further, let me use this medium to introduce myself.
My names are Julia R.Doudou. I am a full citizen of Ivory coast and a native of Bouake the rebel besieged city in the northern part of the country 400 km north of Abidjan the capital. I grew up with my uncle Emile Boga Doudou the Interior Minister who was assasinated on the 19th of September 2002 Please,feel free to browse through [ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2268718.stm ] for complete report on this incident.
I lost my father and mother in a gastric motor accident when I was barely 13 years old then. My uncle Emile Boga Doudou before his assination made a cash deposit of (3.7Million) with a private reputable security vault in The Gambia for safe keeping. This was deposited and declared as family jewelries in my name and the documents were with my uncle's lawyer which I never knew about. Up till my writing this mail, the Security vault does not know of the cash content in this consignment in deposit with them.
Some months after my uncle's death, I was called upon by my uncle's lawyer from The Gambia and all these were revealed to me. Now, my uncle's lawyer is seeking to get married to me so that he can gain access to this furtune but he is really too old for me and he has (3) other wives.I have told him that I have a step father/guardian who will help manage this cash for me and I do not need his assistance other than when my step father/guardian comes, he just has to hand the papers over to us and we are through with him.
I need you to act as my guardian to assist me move this cash to your country or any other country you deem fit and be able to manage properly, part of the money in a feasible and lucrative investment, hence the need of contacting you.
I also want to let you know that I will forever appreciate if you assist me in moving this cash out of Africa. Again, you must have to make arrangement on how to move me to your country to reside in peace and please do consider this and let me know promptly, your acceptance to assist me so that we can know how to immediately undertake this project within the shortest possible time.
I await your very prompt reply and please do not hesitate to ask for clarification on any aspect you are uncertain about.Reach me directly via this email address as my late uncles lawyer has an access to this email account: doudoujr@sawmail.com
Kind Regards and waiting to read from you soonest,
Julia R.Doudou.
