welfare.
Honestly I want you to believe that this transaction is real and never a joke. My late father Chief VINCENT WEGAS gave me the deposit slip issued to him by the BANK on the date of deposit, for you to be clarify because, I do not expose my self to anybody I see, I believe that you are able to keep this transaction secret for me because this money is the hope of my life, it is important. Please write me immediately after you must have gone through my message fill free and make it urgent. That is the reason why I offered you 15 % of the total money amount, and in case of any other necessary expenses you might incure, I am resolving to give

And promise me and my younger sister to be our guardian considering our situation and not to betray us.
And my late father used me the only son as the beneficiary / next of kin on the day of deposit and also told me I need an assistance of a foreigner witha legitimate bank Account abroad who will stand as co-beneficiary and partner abroad to ensure a successful hitch free transfer of the fund abroad.
