Dearest,
I am Mrs. Mariam Alfarouk, and I need your cooperation in investment assistance. I am in Ivory Coast with my son, and I would like that you write to me directly to my email address concerning my deposit (my box which contains the sum of 7.5 million dollars), which I have deposited in a reputable security company here in ABIDJAN, COTE D I'VOIRE.
Thank you and May God bless you.
Mariam Alfarouk.
