Subject: Urgent assistance
Dear Friend,
I pray that this message meet you in good state of health and may almighty God be with you and your family. Read this mail and digest it very well because it is the main reason I am searching for a trust worthy friend abroad.
Mysteries have gone in my life. Life has become restless for me in this western part of Africa. 29th September 2004 later in the night the murders come without a pity without a mercy they kill my father in front of me.
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 Jul-Aug 2004 when they discovered a very big some of money my father deposited with a security company here in Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire.
As a result of this discovery and the envies 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, being the only child. 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 of cancer.
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.
All the relevant documents of the $10.5 (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars) that was deposited in a security firm are intact with me now.
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 20% of this money ,if you can help me bring out this fund from the security firm for onward investment in your country. I shall give you more details on this can be actualised.
Please rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free.
I'm waiting for your urgent reply.
Best regards,
Miss Ajara Lateef
