education in abroad. You might have heard about rumours that some bad
people use the internet to send out their fraud-mails but I want you to

as his family treasury bill for many security reasons. I am the next of
kin to my late father vault account. I contacted the security company for
the claim of my late father's deposited boxes but due to my underage {26
years old}, the security company are demanded for my guarantor that will
claim the boxes for me to avoid any future controversy because my father's

right to withdraw this boxes. Now what I need from you is to send me your
full name, contact address, personal telephone number so that I can put in
an application letter with this your information and forawrd to the
security company as my foreign guarantor. I will change the new ownership
certificate to your name so that we can have a power of attorney to
athourize the security company to let me withdraw one of the box that
valued us$3m here so that I can take the box to a reputable bank here and
transfer it to your foreign account. If I have access to the box, I will
open an account here in your name and deposited the funds before onward
transfer to your final account in your country. While transfering the
funds we are going to obtain all the necessary certificates/documents
that will proved to your bank and country that the source of this funds in
