Subject: my regards

Determination is what encourage me at this time of scam suspense mostly
in the Internet to write and inform you about my present pressing family
inheritance problems.As a
christian i decided not to accept failure or defeat because i was made to
understand that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities
and powers in the high places.
After the death of my father, killed by the rebel simply because he refuse
to spores
them financially.This incident coasted my two sisters their lives in a planed
moter accident.since then my mother had been ill.she later died under severe
stroke which affected her mind and brain, for more than three weeks she
was unable to recognize anyone.
A missionary evangelist took me and cross over to the nearby country since
this evil men is
after my life.My joy and happiness is that i inherited a cash sum of fourteen
million united state dollar.This money was deposited in a private safe keeping
house and declared as a family vital belongings before the death of my father,
the missionary evangelist introduced me to the safe keeping house, one month
after he went back to my country, he was assassinated by the rebels on the
ground that they suspect my movement with him.As i narrated my situation
to our Reverend in our refugee camp ,he advise me to seek for a foreign investor
or partner who will stand as a trustee and family business associate so that
the box of the money will be release to his/her name by the safe keeping
house.My
contacting you is to seek for your help as a foreign partner and family business
associate to my family so that the safe keeping house will release this box
of money in your name because my late father made them to understand that
this family vital bel ongings was
meant for export to unspecified family business associate.With your assistance,
this will give me a greater opportunity to invest this money in your country.For
faithfulness and guarantee on both side,i will offer you 25% .

My Regards
Moneey Albright
