a reputable and trustworthy Foreigner who will help me to retrieve this

)I am here with the Deposite Certificate and the death certificate of my
late father ,all will be sent to you upon request as soon as i get you
well, know body knows what i have and where i am. It therefore
became very necessary and urgent that somebody in your foreign
position should render a helping hand to safe-guard this fund for me i
n safe until my arrival in your country.I am asuring you 100% rist free,
and i have map out 15% of the total money for your kind assistance
