Dear,

I am Miss Martine Kieta , the legitimate daughter of
the Director salesman of cocoa in official list of
Ivory Coste( west AFRICA)Who murdered by the rebelles here.
During the exercise of his mandate, my father had
deposited a metal suitcase with a recognise security
company here containing the sum of 9,000.000m USD
(Nine million dollars USD) To allow him to conceive a
project of investment at the end of his mandate here.

Today my major concern is to transfer this sum
outside here. Given that I am the only child and I
have seriously suffered from the raggings and the
harassments on behalf of the political opponents of my
Father.It is in this prospect that I contact you for
you to help me sincerely to remove this legacy from
the security company.
I shall voluntarily agree on a good and appropriate
percentage of this money as your compensation for your
assistant as for what precedes.

I look forward to recive your responds.

Yours sincerely
Miss Martine Kieta
