of God for you to help me and my family, God Almighty will give you the
grace to do so and He will bless and reward you abundantly, I got your contact
through internet during my search on some one who would help us.

I use to be a female student with the University Du Benin, I am 25 years
old I could like any person who is caring, loving and home oriented I would
love to have long-term relationship with you and to know more about you.
I would also 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 both parents
died earlier seven month ago in a tragic car accident while coming back
from a wedding reception of a relation, I and my kid brother were left alone,my
father was a titled King before his death.

I was his Princess and the only one now who can take care of his wealth
with my kid brother,presently we are in Cotonou for safety reasons because
of the little wealth he left behind for us as we were being hunted by his
kingsmen who wants to make away with the huge money.My father left (USD6,350.000.00)
six million three hundred and fifty thousand USD with a security company
before he died and I don't now how and what I will do to invest this money
somewhere overseas so that his kindred will not take the money over what
belong to my father, I am a young female as stated and by our culture that
is why I was happy when I saw your contact and I strongly believe that by
the grace of God you will help us secure and invest this money.

I therefore need your help in bringing the boxes contaning the money out
from the security company, based on your reply I will furnish you with more
details on how we can proceed.

Meanwhile, I am ready to pay 10% of the total amount to you if you help
us in securing this money and another 5% interest of annual income for handling
this business for us which you have absolute control over, if you can handle
this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this money,kindly
reach me and I will let you know the next step to take toward actualizing
this transaction as quickly as possible, please do reply me at princess2pp@yahoo.com

from you soon.
