Subject: From Roselina
Good day,
My name is Roselina Aka from Bourke City, Cote dIvoire. I 'm the only daughter of Mr and Mrs Richard Aka; I would like to ask you for your help. My mother died when I was 10 years, my father was poisoned to death on the family meeting by his jealous brothers, who want his properties by all cost. Before the death of my late father, he told me on his sick bed that he deposited the sum of 2.8 million U.S. dollars in a private security company here in Abidjan - Ivory Coast.
But because of the reason for my parents' death and my fathers advice based on the fact that I should be careful with his brothers, I do not want to invest or stay here again, so I want you to help me transfer this money in your country, so I can come over after the transfer and continuo my education, you can also help me invest the money in good moving business in your country. As for your kind assistance, I am ready to offer 30% of the total money.
Please contact me if you are interested, so I will give you all the details and any delay will give me room for sourcing another good individual.
E-mail me immediately! (missroselina@hotmail.com)
Warmest greetings,
Miss Rose Aka.
