l am Miss Elo Mikku , the only doughter of late mr and Mrs Hanshaw Mikku .My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan here, the economic capital of Ivory Coast, he was poissoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on business. My mother susan died on the 20th october 1998 and my father took me so special because l am motherless. Before the death of my father on 29th november 2005 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his bedside,when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying, why? (1) he conplained that I am too young to be managing my life,
2,that I have not finished my university education as he planned for me,(3)no body to take care of me again as a young girl, but after much crying, he still passed an instruction to me that he has a sum of US$7.000.000.(SAVEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in a bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as the only doughter for his next of kin in deposit of the funds.

You know that i am trusting in you based on the word that my father told when he was telling me to look for somebody outside country, he told me that why he want me to look for someone outside is that GOD told Abraham to go for a place where no body knows him to make his own nation , that since i am the only one left that he will like me to pray when ever i want to this transfer into any body's account,so that "GOD ALLMIGHTY' will send someone who will be in GOD far to assist me, he also told the bank on the paragraph four of the agreement that the money must transfer out side the country to anybody of my choice .
he said that, is to make sure that I did not begin to make use of the money here so that his enemies will not get at me. dear, I am now ready to do all these since my father my bread winner is no more. dear. l am honourable seeking your assistance in the following ways.
