Subject: Hello--Please I Need Your Help--David.
Hello Sir
How are you today, I hope you are ok and your family also.Please i do need
your help regarding problem me and my mother are having here in Ghana that
is why i did send to you email to tell you all about us. 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 all from
Liberia.
On the 7th day of May 2003 he was on his way back from off shore he was
attacked by some rebel fighters who killed him. 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 late 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 after the transfer of the fund, 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 without business idea and neither is my mother regarding
this huge sum of fund. We do agree to 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 by the bank 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 please 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.
Please this is my other email address gallonmanonline40@yahoo.com
Best Regards
David and Mother
