From: "Veronique Konan Miss Anita" <anitavk@mailbox.hu>
Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2008 10:57:23 -0700
Subject: From Miss: Anita Veronique Konan
Good day and how are you today together with your family? I hope fine.
Please look not unto race or religion, because this has been problem facing
the world as a whole. please do Permit me to inform you of my desire of
asking you to be a guardian or foster parent to me and then help me out in
what i am about to tell you. I'm Anita Veronique Konan (17years old) from
Cote d'Ivoire, and the only child of Late Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin Konan. My
father was a very wealthy cocoa and gold merchant in Cote d'Ivoire.He was
poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a
business trip.
My mother died when i was a baby. Before the death of my father on Sept.
2006 in a private hospital in Cote d'Ivoire, he secretly called me by his
bed side and told me that he has the sum of thirteen million seven hundred
thousand United States Dollars USD ($13.700,000) deposited in a security
company in Accra Ghana. He told me that he used my name (Anita
VeroniqueKonan) as the next of Kin to deposit the money. He then strongly
advised me NOT to seek for assistance in the investment of the money from
his lawyer nor any of his friend here but to seek for a foreign partner from
any country of my choice (outside my country,Cote d'Ivoire ) that will
assist me in the wise investment of the money.I have since left the money in
the security company, with the view of making use of it for investment
purposes after my educational carrier.
I am presently in Ghana,where the money is deposited by my late father and
finally i decided to take quick actions and have this money retrieved out
of the country Ghana. I am presently in taking shelter in a church since my
uncles have collected all my fathers properties saying that i am a female
child that i do not have any rite in the family.That is why i need your
urgent assistance to transfer this money out to your country and I will use
it for investment purpose like real estate management or hotel management
Because of this i am honorably seeking your assistance in the following
ways:
(1) To be my guardian and then assist me financially to see that this money
is retrieve from the security company.
(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and then settle there permanently.
I am willing to offer you, 20% of the total money as compensation for your
assistance. Please let me know if you feel the percentage i offered is not
ok by you.As soon as i receive your full assurance and corporation, I will
then give you the contact information of the security company, for you to
find out the requirement we need to proceed so that the money can be
released. Meanwhile, my father told me that the security company dose not
know the content of the boxes, he told me that he made them to understand
that the contents of the TWO trunk Boxes contains some family goods such as
family treasure.Please, i will like you to come down here so that we will
both go to the security company together.
I will also like you to think and pray about this very well before replying
back to me. you can get back to me via this mail:

Regards,
Miss. Anita Konan
