Hello Dear.
l am Miss Kate Stephen the Only Daughter of late Chief Mr Robert Stephen .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 for business. My mother 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 called me and made some sympathetic comments: (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, that no body is to
take care of me anymore, but after much , he revealed to me that he has the sum of US$8.700.000.000.(EIGHT MILLION.Seven Hundred Thousand UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in a metallic box in security company here in Abidjan.He used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposited of the
fund.He passed an instruction to me, that l should seek for a GOD fearing partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer this money and use it for proper investment purpose. That I must finish my university education by the help of a business partner abroad.
He told me the money was deposited as an atifact to avoid problem or tamparing by the officers of the company and to make sure I do not begin to make use of the money here so that his enemies will not get at me. I am now ready to do all these since my father my bread winner is no more and more
worse the incesant political crisis here. l am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) to serve as my gaurdian in your country where as I will depend on your expert advise .
( 2 ) to make arrangement for me to come over to your country in order to further my university education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country.
Moreover, l am willing to offer you 20% of the total sum as compensation for your effort /input after the successfull transfer of this fund to your conutry overseas. Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as l believed that this project would be concluded within fourteen
( 14 ) days you signify interest to assist me.
Hoping to hear from you soonest. May God bless you as you extend your helping hand to a needy fellow.
