DEAR FRIEND
my name is Becky Akyn my mother is a south africana and my father is from texsas i am 28 years old i grew up with my father cos i was told that my mother died the day she gave birth to me and ever since then i have been living with my father and his wife she has always maltreated me like a slave and my father
is a very rich man but i never enjoyed a bit of his money at times i ask if he was really a father of mine .This faithfull day a man came to our house to ask after me i was so surprised cos no one has ever come looking for me i did not go to college so i had no friend so has he came every body where in the sitting room so i was the one that answered the door and the man asked are you becky i said yes he then asked me some other question and i answered correctly he then asked me if i could live alone and i said if i do i was going to suffer more cos i had no job so he said he was going to introduse me to some things as from then i started going out to meet him so one day we had to travell to Switzerland when we got there he showed me the houses my grand father built it was so wonderfull and he also showed me a big store that he said he has been taking care of it since my grand father died he was the one that told me that all my fathers wealth was through my grand father and !
he also gave me the documents to all his material things and he now told me that my grand father also has a package at a srcurity company which he tittled FAMILY TRESSURE and layed an instruction there that if i have a seriouse man i want to marry or if i am married that is when i should come and claim it so when the lawyer asked if i had some one i want to marry i said yes although i dont but i just have to tell him that so that it will be easy for me to claim because the tressue according to the lawyer although he is not too sure is about 108 million dollas.
And all my life i dont ever intend to get married so all i just is that you claim to be my fiance so that we can claim the money and we share it 70% to 30% i will take 70 and you will take 30 then if you dont mind i can give to you one of my houses you know this is one wonderfull thing that has ever happened to me it was at fist like a dream but it is through cos i thought i was goping to die in the slavery of my father and his wife that makes me not like men but to cailm this i need a man which i dont ,mind as far as it is for a while then we can be friends.but remember we have to act like we are in love .
