Subject: goodmorning





I got your contact from the internet, and picked
interest to write you.I am a female student of
University of Botswana, Gaborone. I am 26 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 will be able

to help me in this transaction.


Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left
me and my younger brother behind.My farther was a
share holder with DE BEER'S Diamond cuting Company
here in Botswan and He was a king, which our town
citizens titled him before he died. I was a princess
to him and I am the only person who can take care of
his wealth now because my younger brother is still a
kid and my mother is not literate enough to know my
entire father's wealth.


He left $27,350,000 [Twenty Seven million Three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars) with The First
National Bank (FNB) Matamasule, main mall Gaborone and
I don't know how to start up with the wholething 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 his name, which they are
planning to do without my concept because I am a
female as stated by our culture in the town.


That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact
because I strongly believe that by the grace of God,
you will surely help me invest this money. I am ready
to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you will
sincerely help us in this business 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 will handle this project sincerely and also
willing to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly
reach me and I will link you to The Manager First
National Bank (FNB)Matamasule, main mall Gaborone for
further agreement.


Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free
and I hope to commence the transaction as quickly as
possible, I look forward hearing from you soonest.

Yours sincerely,

Princess Regina Williams
PRINCESS REGINA WILLIAMS AJANA
