Dear Friend,
I am a female student from University of Benin, cotonon. I am 25 yrs old.
I'd like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love
to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would
like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be
able to help me in this transaction.Well, my father died earlier two months
ago and left I and my junior brother behind. He was a king, which our town
citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death. I was a princess
to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because
my junior brother is still young and my mother is not literate enough to
know all my father's wealth. He left the sum of US4,700,000 M.dollars (Four
Million Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars) in Europe.
This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum
development company (spdc) and chevron oil company operating in our locality
for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction.
I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad,
so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father
and our family, which they were planning to do without my present because
I am a female as stated by our culture in the town.
Now,I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from where
it is to your bank account, That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact
because I strongly
believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.You
will have 20% of the total amount for your help,also you will help me to
invest it in either real estate business or into stockexchange or any business
that might interest you based on your good advise.Meanwhle you will manage
any business we may agree to go into for a priod of five years after then
I will take over the management of the business which you will strongly have
absolute control over. If you can handle this project sincerely and willing
to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly reach me and I will link you to
our family legal representative for further discussion. Please, note that
this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction
as quick as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Princess Janet Kokovie Kondji.
