Subject: From Miss Alice Weta
Dearest One,
Based on your profile, the trust and God's divine guidance that I have this great opportunity linking up to you, though we have not meet before but I believe that one have to risk in confiding his secret to succeed sometimes in life.
My name is Alice Weta, a 23 years old undergraduate. I am only daughter of chief/Mrs Paul Weta a major cocoa exporter cum politician. I am native of Lorma in western part of Liberia, Africa.
I was born out of tragic late. my mother died from cancer when I was only 4 years old, my father nurtured me with great care and love before he met his own untimely death on the way coming back from business trip from overseas, on his arrival to the airport his driver went to drove him back home on the way they have a fatal car accident which killed his driver at spot while my father spent 3 painful days at hospital before dying. My uncle seized all my father's companies and properties because of our traditional believe that I'm a woman. I was left with nothing and dropped out of school because of financial difficulties and my uncle's wicked attitude.
My father told me a deep secret on his sick bed which I want to share with you in a full confidentiality. He deposited a huge sum of $7million Dollars ($7,000,000 usd) in one of reputable security company in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire because of political instability in our country Liberia without the knowledge of my uncle. Presently I'm in Cote D' Ivoire since the civil war broke out in Liberia as a refugee in one of missionary home while my uncle flew to the London with his children. Although I have contacted the security company they confirmed the lodgement.
Dearest One i want you to do for me is to step forward as my foreign partner to the security company so that the money will be retrieve, I have all the necessary information to back you up. I will sincerely give you 15% out of the money, 5% for any expenses incurred during the transaction and the rest will be used for any investment preferred by you in your country.
I am pleading to you with the name of Almighty God to help me out of this problem. Coincidentally Cote D' Ivoire is now having its own political unrest too,
I waiting to hear from you soonest
Thanks
Miss Alice Weta.
