Dear One,
Please sorry for this unexpected mail requesting for your assistance on the
basis of
investment. My name is Miss Sarah Mustafa 19 years, I am the only child of
Late Dr. and Mrs. Lokko Mustafa who was shot to death by hired assissans on
their way home in November 2007 here in Abidjan Ivory Coast. My father was
formerly the director of cocoa processing and exporting company here in
Abidjan the capital city.
It was after their death that I was made to know that Dr. and Mrs.. Lokko
Mustafa do not have a child but they adopted me to be their child. At this
very moment the family do not want to accept me again, they have seized all
the properties and out of fear to save my life I have to run to an orphanage
camp under the reform church of God to hide myself.
Now as a legally adopted child, I had wanted to follow the legal way but the
Church Pastor made me to realized that I may loose my life after all since I
do not know the source of the death of my step parents.
Here in the orphanage camp, I took some my late fathers files where I
discovered deposite documents of Two Million Five hundred Thousand US
Dollars U$2,500,000.00 deposited by my late step Parents using my name as
the next of kin in depositing the money. I went to the bank fast with the
documents and it was confirmed by the bank Manager that such deposite was
made by my late father but because of my age I can not have access to the
money yet unless I present a guardian who will stand for me and receive the
fund or I wait till I am 25years of age.
Please, I am not mandating you but humbly seeking your kind understanding to
stand as my legal guardian and trustee and help me to receive and invest
this fund in your country, you will also assist me to come over there for my
studies. I wait for your mail if you are pleased to assist me.
God bless you
Miss Sarah Mustafa
