From Sera Emodu.

Dear,
I am Sera Emodu From Ivory Coast. I am of 20 years old Girl. I lost my father a couple of years ago. My father was a serving director of the Cocoa exporting board until his untimely death.
He was assassinated last January 2003 by the rebels following the political uprising. Before his death he had a fund consignment box deposited with a security and finance company here in d'Ivoire up to the tune of $10.5M, which he told the security company as containing "GEMSTONE".
Therefore, I am contacting you based on the information I gathered from the business directory of your country, and wish to contact you for this business transaction, which needs your urgent attention. I want you to do me a favour to receive these funds to a safe account in your country or any safer place as the beneficiary.
As soon as you receive the funds into your account, I will like you to invest the fund into a good business venture in your company, or for industrial productions, and real estate building. And arrange for my coming to meet you. This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me, kindly indicate your interest in replying soonest to my email
Thanks and best regards.Sera Emodu.
