Dearest one,
TRANSFER OF US$16,800,000.00 (SIXTEEN MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).
with the hope that you are okay and doing fine, this message could be strange but if realy you pay some attention to it. I got your contact details on the www.
I am KADJA LAWAL. I inherited the sum of USD$16,800,000.00 (Sixteen Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) from my late parents. But right now, l am faced with a problem.
On one of the banks documents, my late father appended a clause stating that: I the next of kin, must attain the age of 35 years, before taking full control of the bank account; But, in the event of war or natural disasters in Ivory Coast, the bank should honour a transfer request from me which
must be is for the safety of the funds; And in this case, I must have a foreign investment manager.
I am not yet 35 years of age, and Ivory Coast is not a safe country at this time; there is war in the country. Considering the situation of the country, l am eager to have my inheritance transferred out of Ivory Coast to a safe and stable country. Please l want you to act as my investment manager,
so that the bank would transfer my money out of This country. If you are able to help me in this, we can both become business partners. I am ready to invest part of the money in your country.
Finally, i wish to tell you that after you might have
remitted/transfer the funds from the bank into your account in your country, i intend for you to use the funds for the following;
1.To start a better life again and as well further my education.
2. Make a charity donation to ophanage home.
3. Meanwhile 20% of the total funds will be for you, for your
Assistance.
If you would help me, please call me so that we can talk in more details as soon as possible +22566357243
Best regards,
KADJA LAWAL.
