Subject: WITH DUE RESPECT.
HELLO FRIEND,
Good day and Compliments, I am writing this letter in
confidence believing that if it is the wish of God for you to help me and my
family, God Almighty will bless and reward you abundantly and you would
never regret this. My family and I are true Christians and worship God
truthfully. I got your contact during my search for this assistance. I am a
female student from
University Burkina Faso, Ouaga. 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 three 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 my entire father's wealth.
He left the sum of USD 7.350, 000M (Seven Million, Three Hundred and Fifty
Thousand US Dollars) in a security company. 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 consent 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
the Security Company 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. I am ready to pay 30% of the total
amount to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of
Annual
after Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you will
strongly have absolute control over it. If you can handle this project
sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly reach
me. Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to
commence the transaction as quick as possible, I will send you my picture as
soon as I hear from you for recognition.
Yours sincerely,
Princess Jane. S. Kabore (Ms.)
