Dear,
Permit me to informyou about my desire to seek for assistant from you and i got the believe that you are going to help me out successfully. but firstly about myself.
I am Miss Lucy Mboo from Ivory Coast in west Africa, the only child of Mr and Mrs George Mboo. my father was a very wealthy gold and cocoa merchant who based in Accra and Abidjan respectively, I am there only child. When i was a kid i went to a private schools and things were going on well for me and my parents but it was unfortunate that my mother died when i was still tender.
My father took me so special after the death of my mother. and he showered all his love on me and promised me that he will never have another woman because he did not want me for any problem. But it was a tragidy to lost my beloved father last year as a result of poison. Before the death of my father in a private hospital here in my country, he called me secretly to his bedside and told me that he deposited a box containing the sum of $8,500,000 (eight million, five hundred thousand united states dollars) as the family treasure in a security company in ( Europe ) , My late afther further told me that he used my name as the next of kin in depositing the box. He told me that the security company does not know the content of the box, The Trunk box was deposited as family valuable items. This was to avoid eye brow or much tax/ demurage.
After doctor's thorough examination, It was made obviours that my father poisoned and after traditional enquiry, it was made clear that my wicked uncle was responsible and to crowned it all, my wicked uncle made an open confession due to the culture of our land and my father could not survive the sickness.
Since the death of my late father, my wicked uncle did not satisfied with his evil intention, he is still looking after my life so that he will conmfortably seat and inherite my late father wealth.
Before my late father gave-up the last breath, he strongly advice me to seek for foreign partner in a country of my choice who will help me claim the box out from the security company and invest the fund, such as real estate,stock market investment or hotel management.
Presently the deposit is still with the security company. Please, i am honourably soliciting your kind assistance as follows.
1 ) To help me claim this box from the security company which i will give you the whole details and their contact information.
2 ) To serve as my guardian and to help invest this fund over their.
3 )To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to continue my education and to procure me a residential permit.
I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as a mode of compensation for your effort after the successful claiming of these fund(Consignment) to your country. Please i will be very happy if this transaction will be concluded within seven ( 7 ) working days from now.I am expecting to hear from you as soon as possible.
Best regard
Yours Lucy Mboo.
