Dearest,
I felt good to write you for a suggestion request
which is however not a mandatory but for an investment
in your country.
Your profile pushed me to send you this mail,Actually,
I am gloria abou. 22years old and the only dauther of
my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Emmanuel abou.My father
was a highly reputable business magnet-(a cocoa
merchant)who operated in the capital of Ivory coast
during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in
France during one of his business trips abroad year on
12th December 2006.Though his sudden death was linked
or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an
uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But
God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 4 years old as my late
father,and since then my father took me so
special.Before his death on December 12th 2006 he
called me behind his bed and told me that he has the
sum of Twenty-Eight million, seven hundred thousand
United State Dollars.(USD$28.700,000) left in one of
the Bank here in (COTE D IVOIRE, IVORY COST).
He further told me that he deposited the money in my
name, Now, i have went to the Bank to claim the fund,
they told me that i am too young to handle this fund,
unless i reach 30years Old before they will release
the fund to me. Dear One, i am only 22 years old dont
know what to do,i can not wait till i reach 30 years
old,do to my late Father reletives are wicked, they
may kill me as they kill my father, i am pleading for
you to help me stand in the Bank as my foriegn partner
to enable them release this money to you, so that i
will come over to your peace full country to continue
my education while you put the rest of the fund in a
good profitable business investiment.
I am just 22 years old and a university undergraduate
and really don't know what to do.This is because I
have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of
incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The
death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in
this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly
regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help?
(i) to transfer this fund in your account? (ii) To
invest it promptly?
2. Can we trust each other? To avoid betrayal at the
end?
3. What could be your percentage of the total sum
immediately the transfer is done?
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible.
Thank you so much.
Yours faithful,
gloria abou
