Hello Dear,
I am miss Rina Jacob, am 20 years old from Cote d'Ivoire,daughter of Mrs Catharine Jacob. I have 4.5 million USD which was deposited in the bank, by my mother before she died in October 2006 which was left in a suspense account in a bank here in my country.
I seek your permission to remit this amount into your bank account so that I could come to your country for investment and to further my studies. I have accepted to offer you a 20% of the total sum of the fund so as to assist me.
