Subject: Hello From Sussy Owen.
Hello Dear,
Good day, I am sure that you will be surprise to receive this letter from a complete strenger like me hence my apology. I am contacting you bdue to the situation i am into. I am Miss Sussy Owen, daugther of late Chief & Mrs. Damian Owen of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire(Ivory Coast). My mother died when i am little age and i am the only child. I lived with my father in Abidjan city known as the economic capital of Cote D'Ivoire the largest Cocoa producing nation in Africa where my father had his Agricultural business. My father is a wealthy cocoa and gold marchant but unfortunately he was killed recently by his local business associate during their business meeting in a hotel here. The death of my father was planned by his wicked brother because he was greedy that my father could use his wealths to cheat him in the family matters.
After my father's burial, the wicked uncle tookover my father's properties as he believed that am too young to drag the properties with him. I reported him to some people but they could not do anything than to support him because he shared them some money to support him, there is no justice therefore i decided to leave the properties for him and run away because he put more pressure on me and he wants me dead for him to be satisfied. I am presently hiding somewhere around the country where he can not see me, meanwhile i want to relocate to your country for my life sake and in order to further with my education.
My purpose of contacting you is that i want you to help me to transfer the sum of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD3, 500,000.00) which my father left in a suspense account with a bank here in the country with my name as the next of kin as his only child. My father got the money from his agricultural business in my country. He told me about the money before he died, and he advised me to invest it in foreign country for my future. I am the only person that knows about the money in my family. There are some condition and agreement which my father signed with the bank during the deposit, for that reason, the bank director want me to appoint my guardian to the bank to claim the money otherwise the bank will hold the money until i reach 25 years old as one the agreement.
Now that my wicked uncle is after my life and i don't want him to know about this money so i decided not to choose any person in my country for guardianship. This is why i contact you for you to be my gaurdian towards the transfer of this money and investments in your country. I want you to be my help for me to appoint you to the bank as my guardian so that the bank will transfer the money into your account over there and immediately after the transfer i will get my visa ticket to meet you over there and stay there to further with my education while you invest the money for me into lucrative investments like real estate or hotel business.
I will be glad to give you 15% of the total money as reward for your assistance and as far as we are in good relation we can share the profits of the investments. This transfer can be completed within 7-days as the banker told me. I assure you this project is risk-free. Please reply to my email address immediately for further details.
Thanks,
Sussy Owen.
