Subject: Re:Please I need you to stand by me
Dearest beloved
My name is lucy james the only daughter of late Eng and Mrs.Godfrey james, My father was a wealthy Gold merchant in Abidjan the economic capital of Ivory Coast before his untimely death which was cause by poison and my lovely mother died in motor accident together with my junior brother when I was
14years so my father raise me up.
Before the death of my father in November 2006 in a hospital here in Abidjan he called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of USD3.7M which he deposited with a banks here in Abidjan- Ivory Coast that he used my name as his only daughter as the next of Kin to deposited money.
He advice me that in case if he did not survive that I should not invest the money in my country because he was killed out of envy of his wealth by his business associates and my uncles that I should find a foreign partner in any country of my choice where I will transfer the money for investment.
Please I need you to stand by me as my guardian or husband so that the bank will release my inheritance money to you because I have went to the bank for the release of the money to me, but the bank did not want to release the money to me because of my age, you will contact the bank and serve as my
guardian or husband so that the bank will release my inheritance money to you since I am only 20years plus now, secondly after the bank release my inheritance money to you, you will make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to live the rest of my life in
your country and to invest my moneyin your country also.
I look forward to receive a positive reply of accepting to help me from you.
Yours,
lucy james
