Dear Amarjit Singh,
Am very sorry for my late reply to your mail, it was as a result of my inability to check my Email due to the ill health of my sister and since after the death of our parents she has not been her normal self.
I want to assure you that this message is not one of those scam I hear about and if you will come up with an open heart to claim this money on our behalf, I assure that you will never be disappointed and we will remain grateful to you till the end of our life. Please we really need your help due to the way our family members and uncles are treating us since dearth of your daddy I just pray you will understand the situation we have found our self now and come up to our aid.
So if you are willing to help us out in this regard, then get back to me so that I will give you the contact of the finance house where this money is presently deposited by my daddy. And they will advise us on what to do.
Yours Sincerely,
James Kamara.
Waiting for your reply.
