I am frank kingsley Jnr, the only son of late MR and MRS GEORGE KINGSLEY of
the blessed memory. My father was a very wealthy GOLD and COCOA merchant who
who based in GHANA and Nigeria respectively. He was poisoned to death by his
business associate on one of their business outings in europe. When my
mother died on the 21st octomber, 2000, my father took me and my sister
pamela so precious because we are littel,motherless.
Before the death of my father on the 30th November, 2005 in UNTH hospital in
Nigeria, he called me on his bed side and told me of some of his
propertiseand that he had a sum of $12 Million US DOLLARS deposited in a
private security company europe and he told me that he deposited and
declared the box as GOLD PEACE and that he deposited the box under his name.
He further explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associate, that I should seek for a foreigner who
will help us in the claiming of the funds in a country of my choice where I
will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes. In a
nutshell, I am honourably seeking for your assistant in the following ways
below:

as a beneficiary of the fund, and also to use it for investment purposes.
(2)to serve as the guardian of this fund since I am only 22 years old.
(3)to make arrangement for me and my sister pamela to come over to your
country to further my EDUCATION and to secure a residential permit in your
country.
you are to let me know what will be your comission for helping us.
awaiting to hear from you soonest.
thanks and God bless you for your help.
