Subject: Hello--Please I Need Your Help---David
Good Day
How are you today and your family i do hope and pray all is fine,I do need
your help sir regarding problem me and my mother is going through.Let me
introduce my self. My name is David Richardson the eldest child and son of
late Chief Mallon Richardson, My father was a very rich and traditional
African and made a lot of money from the sales of Crude Oil. we are four in
my family are we are from Liberia.
On the 7th day of May 2003,while my father was coming back from off shore he
was attacked by some rebel fighters who killed him and his other workers. We
inherited the sum of million (Nineteen Million U.S Dollars) from my father,
Before the death of my late father, we had already flew from our
country(Liberia) to Abidjan because of the war in our country where i lost
my little sister, and after the death of my father, My father lawyer did
came to meet us in Abidjan and then he gave us my father death certificate
and document that stated he deposited his fund with a bank in ghana, for
safekeeping and transfer.
So we did leave Abidja and flew to Ghana for the claim of the fund, when we
came to Ghana we located the bank and presented all the legal documents to
the bank, but the bank refuse to give to us the fund of my father, they told
us in the bank that my father has already registered the fund to be transfer
to a forign partner, so we speek to the head of treasury depatment of the
bank and he advice us to look for a forign parter to help us contact the
bank for the claim of the fund.we need you to help us receive this funds as
our foreign partner, you help us contact the bank, to stand for us before
the bank as the beneficiary of our fund and then the bank would agree
transfering to you.we would then have to come to your country and start a
new and happy life there, we do want you to help us invest the fund in a
life time investment in your country since i am still a young man or 24years
and my mum is 53years, My mum will give to you 20% of the total sum of money
for your help, and my mother did said that before this fund can be release
or transfer to you, that you will have to sign an agreement with my family
so that we can trust you cause you know you have not meet you before.
I know you may surprise you but it the is truth and no one expect you knew
that we are still alive and in Ghana that is why you must keep this as a top
secret to yourself alone, because we for safety of our life my mother said i
should tell you and all the legal documents covering this fund are
with my mother. Please we need your help to get our fund and leave Ghana and
start a new and happy life, we pray and wait to hear from you and then i
will send to you the legal document that was given to my father by the bank
when he deposited the fund with them for your view. Bye for now and hope To
hear from you soon.
