Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU? HAMMED
GREETING TO YOU I will like to apologize for sending you this mail without seeking your permission, I got your contact from a foreign yellow page magazine, so I decided to seek your assistance. I am Frimpong Ernest Devine and I'm 17 yrs old an half-caste (Half Norwegian and half Ghanaian). I am not completely educated because I stop schooling a year ago after I completed my SSS level, though I am still interested in completing my education, I am not very education but I can try to make you understand the reason why I am seeking your help. I was born into a wealthy family, and things have been going on well (even though my father had divorced my mother for his person reason) until last year October when my father dead a shocking death. Ever still I have been finding it hard to survive on my own. My purpose of contacting you is to seek your help because I was informed by my late father's lawyer that my father has an amount of $1.5 million USD (one million and five hundred thousand united states dollars) in a bank vault, which I have searched through my father's file and I find out that it is true. I have gone to the bank on several occasions but they wouldn't give me attention, because they keep repeating that I am too young to forward any claim. I was made to understand by a friend from inside the bank, and he told me that the bank will try to steal my money. If I can not present someone like an uncle or my late father's partner to help me claim the money from the bank. Meaning that I might loss this money if I don't get help soon. I can't trust any of my family members, because with a clear look from their relationship with my father when he was alive, they have always jealous my father's success. I am writing to you, because I want you to help me stand as my uncle or my father's business partner, after which we can transfer the money to your account in your country. Then we can both travel back to your country, then I can start a new life entirely in your country. I will be expecting to hear from you. Please reach me only through my private email: frimpongagy2007@yahoo.de ThanksWram RegardsFrimpong Ernest Devine.
