Subject: Hello
Goo day,
I know it looks really strange for you to receive this email from me,
but before I go further, let me use this medium to introduce myself.
My names are Justine R. Guei. 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 Ex-Military Head of State
of Ivory Coast who was assasinated along with the Interior Minister by
name(Emile Boga Doudou)on the 19th of September 2002 Please,feel free
to browse through
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.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 General Robert Guei before his
assination made a cash
deposit of (8.7Million) 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 fund 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.
Best Regards and waiting to read from you soon,
Justine R.G
