Hi,Dear
How are you today? Please the very moment i saw your profile, I was
convince within my heart that i can trust you with all my heart, but my
only fear now is that i hope and pray you believe what i have to tell
you.
I am Wisdom Johnson, i am 19 years old boy, My mother was an African
American while my father was from the french speaking colony of Cote D'
Ivoire here in west africa, i was living with my mother not too far
from Charleston building, 601 57th Street, Charleston West Virginia USA.
And i attended Charleston senior High School, 1201 Washington Street E,
Charleston, WV. I lost my mother sometimes ago and after her death i
came to meet my father for the very first time in Cote d' Ivoire West
Africa, though he was also living in the state before he relocated back to
Cote d' Ivoire to set up a business.
Exactely two months and one week after i came to meet my father with
the help of US consulates he died, he was very sick when i came to meet
him. But before his death there were some document he gave to me as
his only child and he told me that everything he worked for in his life
time is in the document when i crosscheck the document i discovered that
my late father deposited one package box that contents $ 7.5 Million
dollars in a shiping security company here in Cote D' Ivoire, Seven
million five hundred thousand US dollars.
The reason he deposited the money was because of there political
problem in this country.While I am telling you is that i am just a small
boy and there is little or nothing i could do on my own and again if my
late father relative find out that my late father left this kind of
money in my care i don't know what they might do to me because they have
claim other properties of my late father and quite me out from our
family house, so i need you to help me come down here and meet me because
the security company doesn't know the content of the package box, so that
me and you will go to the security company and claim the package box
as my late father foreign business partner. or you contact the security
company as my late father foreign business partner and ask them to
release the package box and bring it to you in your country for safe
keeping, Please after you receive the box you will take me along to your
country so that i will start my education there. Please if you do
this for me apart from the love i will also offer you 20% of the total
money for helping me.
Please i requested for your trust and understanding because it might
sound unbeleivable but it is the truth Please get back as soon as
posible and let me know your willingness for assisting me
Sincerely Yours Son,
Wisdom Johnson
