Dear One,
How is everything? I hope i met you in good condition? My mail might look strange to you but find a good place in your heart to consider me.
I am Sussy Owen from Abidjan the economic capital city of Ivory Coast in West African Region. I am the only surviving child of late Mr. and Mrs. Damian Owen. My late father was a cocoa merchant and agricultural equipment supplier in my country. My mother died when i was kid and my father died last year after a serious illness.
Right now, i am having problem with my uncle, who wants me dead by all means just because he wants to seat on my inheritance. He has been trying to collect all my father left for me before he died. From all indication and what my father told me before his death, it is true that he (my uncle) killed my father with poisonous substance. And my father deposited some huge amount money in a Fixed Deposit Account in my country, and the money was deposited with my name as next of kin, that is what my wicked uncle is targeting right now. Meanwhile, i have confirmed the money with the Bank Executives where the money is deposited.
Please, i want you to assist me to secure the money in your country by transfering the money in your account.
I will give you 15% of the total money if you can assist me.
Hope to hear from you with my private email contact: sussywn@yahoo.com, so that i can give the detail about the money and how we can proceed with the transfer.
Yours,
Sussy Owen
