Subject: Urgent Attention.
Dear
I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of
God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you
abundantly.
My family and I are true Christians and worship's God truthfully. I got your
contact through Internet during my research on some one who could help us.
I am a female student from University of Nigeria, Lagos. I am 25 yrs old.
I’d like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love
to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I
would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can
be able to help me in this transaction. Well, my fathers died earlier two
months ago and left my mother I and my junior brother behind. He was a king,
which our town citizens titled him before his death. I was a Princess to him
and I and my brother are the only people who can take Care of his wealth now
because my mother is not literate enough to know all my father’s wealth
behind.
He left up to USD 5, 350, 000.00 dollars (Five million three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars) with a security company, and I don’t know how and
what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father’s
kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and our family, which
they were planning to do without my present because I am a female as stated
by our culture in the town. That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact
which I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me secure
and invest this money. I thereby need your help in bringing the box
contaning the money out from the security company, based on your reply I
will furnish you with more details on how we can proceed.
I am ready to pay 10% of the total amount to you if you help us in securing
this money and another 10% interest of Annual Income to you, for handling
this business for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over.
If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in
lifting this fund, kindly reach me on this email
address:princessessien1122@yahoo.com ,and I will let you know the next step
to take towards actualizing this transaction as quickly as possible.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free.
I look forward hearing from you soonest.
Yours sincerely,
Princess essien
