put me into suffery and starvation. Now I urgently need
an assistance of a reputable and trustworthy Foreigner

death certificate of my late father ,all will
be sent to you upon request as soon as i get

that somebody in your foreign position should render
a helping hand to safe-guard this fund for me in safe
until my arrival in your country.I am asuring you
100% rist free,and i have map out 15% of the total
money for your kind assistance while 5% will be kept
