Dearest One,
I hope all is well over there in your country. If so, thanks be to God
almighty. My name is Miss Anne Wanjiku Kinyua, I am from Kenya. I am 21
years old. My father until his death was the king of our tribe and also one
of the richest highly reputable business man (a cocoa merchant and supplier
of agro allied material ) who operated in Nairobi and Abidjan, capital of
Cote d'Ivoire during his days. It is sad to say that my father was poisoned
to death by his business associates, which my uncle being his younger
brother who immediately announced himself not up to a week my father died
as the king of our tribe, who is also suspected to be involved or master
planned my Fathers death on one of their outings on a business trip to
France.
Before the death of my father on February 2015 in a private hospital here
in Nairobi he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has
the sum of Five million, Five hundred thousand United State Dollars.
(USD$5.500,000) deposited in a bank here in Nairobi. He used my name being
the only child as the next of kin (beneficiary) to the fund.
Now, I have in my possession the deposit certificate and all the vital
documents which the Bank gave to my late father when he deposited the
money. I believe that the people that murdered my father are seriously
after me, after my father's younger brother have succeeded in claiming my
late father's landed properties. I have been on a hide out all this while,
because he is still seriously looking for me. He believed according to our
culture that I am a woman so I have no right over my father's properties
because I will be married out from the family by another man. I really do
not know what to do. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as
a result of this, running from one place to another, Now i am staying in a
remote (local) village with an Apostolic church pastor and his family. The
death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
I am in a sincere desire of your assistance in this regards. I will like
you to help me transfer this money to your country as soon as possible so
that i can come over to your country and continue my Education there while
you look for a very good business you can invest on for me since i am still
too young to handle a business that will need such huge amount of money.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly and willingly help me as your sister/daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your country?
4. To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and to secure a resident permit in your country for me.
Please, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
My sincere regard
Miss Anne Kinyua
