Hello and how are you, hope you are fine and in good condition of health. I

I am Miss Monica Edward the only daughter of late Mr.and Mrs Edward My
father was a very wealthy Timber Dealers and cocoa merchant in Abidjan, the
economic capital of Ivory coast .
My father 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 and since then
my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on November 2006
in a private hospital here in Abidjan he secretly called me on his bed side
and told me that he has the sum of US$ 5.500,000 ( Five million five hundred
thousand, United states Dollars) left in a suspense account here in Abidjan
cote d'voire.
He replaces my name as next of kin, and also gave the documents pertaining
the consignment to me. He also explained to me that it was because of this
wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek
for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this
mone and use it to invest in a profitable ventures I am just 25 years old
and a university undergraduate.
I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of members of my late
father's family who has not stop disturbing me about the where about of this
fund after they have succeeded in claiming almost all the valuable
properties that he left behind for me, coupled with incessant political
crisis here in Ivory coast.
The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life I will like every
thing to be conclude soon so that I will join you for me to further my study
and also prefer to go pastoral school in your country.I am honourably
seeking your assistance in the following ways.

since I am just 25 years.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country after the money
has been transferred and invest. Moreover, I am willing to offer you 10% of
the total sum as compensation for your effort / input after the successful
transfer of this fund to your nominated account in overseas.
