Subject: Attn Dear,
Attn Dear,
Good day, I hope that this piece of my mail will reach you in good manners
and in a perfect healthy condition ? Please, I am sorry to border you with
my problems and I know that it's not by mistake that I am contacting you but
by the special grace of God.
I am Omar Prisca, 17years old and the only child of my late parents late
{Chief and Mrs. Gabriel Omar} My mother died when i was a baby, and My
father established his business in Accra Ghana West Africa, and he died
shortly of heart attack.
His death has now made me an orphan and i am exposed to danger. Before the
unfortunate death of my father,he told me about some money {$9.5 Million
U.S.Dollars} and a 500 Kilos of Gold Dust which he kept inside two metallic
boxes deposited with a Security Company here in Accra Ghana as a family
treasure.
Since the death of my father, my uncles have sent me out of our house and
collected most of my late fathers properties except this money that they do
not know about, they said that i am a female child and for that reason
according to our tradition i do not have right to family entitlement.
I am presently taking shelter in a church with a certain pastor and his
family. My father said he used my name as his only child as his next of kin
to the deposit and in case he fails to make it that I should take care of
myself and get someone to help invest the money for me. I have all the legal
documents with me here and the key to the boxes, my father did not disclose
the content of the two trunk boxes to the security company to avoid the
officials from raising eye brows to it. Presently I have contacted the
security company about my claim of the trunk boxes but the security company
told me that my father made an agreement with the company management that
they should not release the two trunk boxes to me without a foreign partner
that is why i am seeking for your assistance to help me stand before the
company as my foreign beneficiary partner or my guardian to receive the
trunk boxes in your country so that i can come over to meet you and continue
my education.
Please help me and stand as my guardian and contact the security company. I
want you to come down here to be sure of what i am saying and after the
transaction, i will go back with you After you have help me get my
inheritance, I am willing to offer to you 15% of the total sum as a
compensation for your help and you will also help me with the investment of
this money since i do not have any idea of investment.
Expecting your soonest response.
Thank you and God bless.
Omar Prisca.
