Dear friend ,
How are you today, I hope fine, I am also fine. It is my great interest and the trust which i have on you, though we have not met before, neither have we seen for the first time, But before i pick up your name and write to you i prayed over it that God should direct me to a trust worthy and God fearing person who will help me out over my problem.
I am miss Phemia George the only daugther of late Mr and Mrs George Mustafah from Ivory-Coast. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in my country ivory coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates because of his position.
When my mother died on the 21st october 2004, my father took me so special because i am motherless. Before the death of my father on 30th june 2006 in a private hospital here in abidjan . He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $10.500.000 (ten million, five hundred thousand dollars) deposited in one of the banks here in abidjan, that he used my name as his only daugther for the next of kin in deposit of the fund at the bank.
He also explained to me that it was because of this huge amount of money that he was poisoned. and he warned me to be careful as they will be looking for me to kill me also as they do not know where the fund is, He also told me that i should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money and use it for investment purposes. i am a woman that have fear of god in me. I am all alone rigth now, and i have been cheated and betray by nature.
Dear, i am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways .
1) To provide a bank account where this money would be transferred to.
2) To serve as the guardian of this fund since i am a young girl of 22 years.
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the money has been transfersd. moreover dearest, I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate account overseas. I also attached one of my picture
