WARRI.
Dearest one,
I know my message will come to you as a surprise since I don't know you in person or met with you before, but I am of the believe that you would be obliged to come to my assistance and rescuer after hearing about my situation with my left sister.
I am Vivian Mbakwe the only daughter of late Mr. and Mrs. Sam Mbakwe. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Warri, the economic capital of Nigeria before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discuss on a business trip in Ghana.
After my mother died on the 21st June 1989, my father took me so special because I was motherless and very young.
Before the death of my father on 31st October 2005 in a private hospital here in Ghana. he secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of us$5,500,000 (Five Million Five Hundred Thousand, United States Dollars) left in a suspense account in a local bank here in Nigeria, the money was deposited in the bank by him for an establishment of cocoa farm project in Ghana, he used me as his first and only child for the next of kin in deposit of this fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that we should be careful in life and seek for a foreign partner in a country of our choice where we will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose that will help me and my younger sister, (such as real estate management).
I am sincerely seeking for your voluntary assistance in the name of god and provide me with your below information so that this money will be wire into your account by the bank.
1) Your full name
2) Your private phone/fax number
3) Your contact address
4) Your scan copy of international passport/driving license
Please you have to be my guardian of this fund since I am a girl of 16 years and an orphan indeed.
You will promise to make arrangement for with me to come over to your country after the money has been transferred in your account and also to finish my education therein.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 30% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/input after the successful transfer of this fund to your nominated account overseas.
Please help me my fathers relations are looking for a way to poison me and claim this money because I am a woman. I leave like one without help and future.
Thanks and god bless
Sincerely
Miss Vivian Mbakwe.
