Subject: Greetings My Dearest One,
Greetings My Dearest One,My name is Miss Barbara Adelman. I was born and brought up in Cote d'ivoire, also i am the only child to my parents. My mother died when i was four years old and since then my father took me so special. My Father was a formal Senator here he was a well known wealthy cocoa merchant before he went into politics and was elected into the senate seat, because he was well know good man here. That also made him not to be in a good term with his brothers ( my uncles ). But unfortunately, My father was poisoned last year when he attended a ceremony in the village with my uncle but he do not die instantly and was admitted in a private hospital Before he died, he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of seven million, eight hundred thousand United State Dollars. USD ($7,800,000.00) left in fixed / suspense account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan, my name as his only daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his brothers (my uncles). That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where i will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel management so that i can secure my life too and be out from my uncles for my dear life . Right now I am stranded and out from the city to a nearby village because my uncles have turned out trying to eliminate me in order to claim my inheritance. But thank God i found one pastor Michael who has been of a good assistance to me. He accommodated me in his church when i explained everything to him, and he promised to give me accommodation until i find a partner overseas who will agree to help me transfer my inheritance abroad. So my dear i am seeking your assistance in the following ways:1) To help me transfer this fund to your country because i have discussed with the bank about my intensions to transfer my inheritance abroad which they have accepted.2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education and to secure a resident permit in your country while you invest my own share of the fund into any business of your choice. Moreover, my dear I am willing to offer you 10% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account overseas. Furthermore, you indicate your options towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify interest to assist me. I am looking forward to your hopeful respond and may God be with you.Barbara Adelman
