My Dearest ONE
May the peace of gracious God be with you,please I have a problem which
I needed a help from you,I have decided to write you for help.
I have a proposal for you-this however is not mandatory nor
will I in any manner compel you to honour against your
will.
I am in a state of delinma and your profile pushed
me to send you this mail, I am HELEN ALLIYU 23 years old and the
only daughter of my late parents Mr. and Mrs.
ALLIYU RATORMA.
My father was a highly reputable business magnet (a
cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Senegal
during his days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in
France during one of his business trips abroad on
12th.Febuary 2004.
Though his sudden death was linked
or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an
uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.
But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 11 years old,
and since then my father took me so special.
Before his death on February 12 2004 he called the secretary who
accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of eight
million, seven hundred thousand United State Dollars.(USD$8.700,000) left
in one of the leading security company.
He further told him that he deposited the money in
my name, and finally issued a written instruction to
his lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the
necessary legal documents to this fund and the security
company .
I am just 23 years old and a university
undergraduate and really don't know what to do. This is because I have
suffered a lot of set backs as a result o f incessant political crisis
here in Senegal The death of my father actually brought sorrow to
my life.
I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this
regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly
regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question
will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible.
Thank you so much.Mey God bless you and your family.
My sincere regards,
HELEN ALLIYU.
