Subject: FROM SUSSY OWEN
FROM SUSSY OWEN
Compliments of the day.
I am Sussy Owen, a young girl from Cote d'Ivoire in West Africa . I am living in Abidjan the economic capital of Cote d'Ivoire . I am the only child of late MR & MRS DAMIAN OWEN of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire . My mother died when i was a kid and my father was poisoned to death recently by his business associate after he was appointed the chairman of cocoa dealers association in my capital city. When my father was alive he was a well known supplier of Agric equipments and also a wealthy cocoa merchant based in Cote d'Ivoire otherwise known as Ivory Coast . If i can say now that i am an orphan that is the main reason i am contacting you for assistance for investment at my disposal. I want to relocate to your country to protect myself from my wicked uncle who is after my life because of my inheritance from my late parents.
I wish you can grant me favour to transfer my inherited money valued at US$3.5million (Three Million Five Hundred Thousand United State dollars) which my late father deposited in a fixed deposit account in a bank here in my country. I want your assistance to transfer the money to your nominated account so that i can come over there to further my education while you help me to invest in productive investments under your directives. My late father gave me information of the deposit when he was about to die, also he gave me relevant documents which he signed with the bank during the deposit. I went to the bank and they made me to understand that my late father deposited the money in the fixed suspense account for onward transfer, therefore, unless the money is transferred out i am not permitted to touch or withdraw money from the account until i reach 25 years according to agreement on the deposit. The only option given to me by the bank is to appoint my guardian or foreign
partner for immediate release and transfer of the money. This is why i am seeking for your assistance for you to represent my guardian or my late father's foreign business partner so that i can appoint you to the bank for the transfer of the money to your account.
Presently, i am no longer living in my family house, i ran away from my family house to stay in a hiding place in order to avoid my wicked uncle around me. Please i want you to help me with all your heart to achieve the transaction so that i can come to live and further education there while you invest the money for me. I promise to give you 15% of the total money for your assistance after the transaction and you will always have reward in any profit of the investment.
I am hopefully waiting to hear from you urgent so that i can furnish you with more details.
Thanks for your anticipated gesture.
Yours,
Sussy Owen
