Hello ,
My name is edward jones am 20yrs old am in the reciept of your email despert that we have never met before even to your reponce to me.That alone showed me that you are the rightful person to assist me without any problem or betrayal of trust among each other.
My father was a wealthy merchant .The trouble began early last year when my father's associates started suspecting that my father is not giving proper accounts of all the tons of cocoa being cultivated by local farmers in some villages. This mistrust deepens between May-July 2006 when they discovered a very big some of money my father deposited in a bank here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.
As a result of this discovery and the enviness of the money ,he was killed by his associates.Before this, he revealed to me the reasons of his being hatred.He directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit, he told me that he enrolled my name as his next of kin for the deposit, He advised me that I should not stay in the country because his enemies might equally kill me to reap all his wealth hence my mother died five years ago .
He instructed me that if he dies, that I should look for a foreign partner who will help me to transfer the money into the person's account and the person will help me to invest the money in his or her country. My father finally died on 29th of September and since then I was out of school and went into hiding because of my father's associates. meanwhile,before the death of my father he made me aware of his $8.5 (five Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars) that was deposited in a bank here and i hae discovered the existant of this money please I would require your urgent assistance so that I can move out from here before they kill me as they are tracing my hide out.I agreed to give you 30% of this money ,if you can help me bring out this fund from the bank and transfer it into your account for onward investment in your country.
