I got your contact through Internet during my research on some one who could

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 fathers died earlier two months ago and left my mother I and my
junior brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him
before his death. I was a Princess to him and I and my brother are the only
people who can take Care of his wealth now because my mother is not literate
enough to know all my father’s wealth behind. He left up to USD 3, 000,
000.00 dollars (THREE MILLION US DOLLARS) with a security company, and 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. That is why I felt happy when I
saw your contact which I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will
help me secure and invest this money. I thereby need your help in bringing
the box contaning the money out from the security company, based on your
reply I will furnish you with more details on how we can proceed. I am ready
to pay 10% of the total amount to you if you help us in securing this money
and another 10% interest of Annual Income to you, for handling this business
for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over. If you can
handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this
fund, kindly reach me and I will let you know the next step to take towards
actualizing this transaction as quickly as possible. Please, note that this
transaction is 100% risk free. I look forward hearing from you soonest.
Yours sincerely,
Princess Essien,
