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, God almighty will bless
and reward you
aboundantly and you would never regreat this My family and i am a Christians
and i beleive that you must be good God fearing Person.
I am a female student from University of Lagos Nigeria,I am 22 yrs old.I'd
like any person who can be loving and home oriented. I will love to have a
long-term relationship with you . I would like to build up a solid
foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to assist me in this
transaction.
Well, my father died when i am sixteen years old and left I and my junior
brother , He was a traditional ruler,which our town citizens titled him over
sixteen years
before his death.
I am the only person that can managemylate fathers belongings and asset, now
because my jenior brother is still young and my mother divoced my father
long time before his death. But my father left the sum of (USD
17,500,000,00) dollars (Seventheen Million Five-Hundred Thousand,US Dollars)
That was deposited in a Security and finance company .
This money was annually deposited by him before his death with a security
and finance comapny 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 to invest this money somewhere in abroad so that
my father's younger brothers will not take over my fathers belongings and
our family,which they were planning to do without my permission because I am
a female child of my late father as stated by our culture that any female
child has no legitimate right in any of her fathers asset, So i need your
humble assistance to secure this money for me over there in your country.
That is why I decided to contact you because I strongly believe that by the
grace of God, you will help me to secure and to invest this money wisely.
I am ready to give 20% of the total amount while 5% will be use for any
expensis that may arise, As soos as the money get to you i will come over to
your country to invest there.
