How are you?
I am Nelly Davey Macmillian am 16 years old i am a
Londoner (UK) my mama is a an Algerian. my late popa
Mr. Davey was an engineer in London (Uk)before he died
in a car accident on 6th of january 2006.

he deposited the sum of (12 Million pounds) in one of
the london bank before he died i have
tried to claim this money now as i am in need of it to
further my education but i was told to bring a matured
person to do the claim on my behalf .I could
have told my mama but my mama and popa were divorced
for many years before popa died i was a year old then
and i was brought up by a german lady by name miss
schloer who took me to germany but she is late now.

Drug and Illicit sex by mama was the reason of the
divorced as my popa made me to understand that my mama
turned to junkies and made away with all that they had
except the money with the bank which popa
disclose not to any except me before he died
unfortunately popa is the only child of the
family and grannys are late my education is at stake i
do not know my mama till this moment i need to
continue my education in london and take care of myself
thats why i contacted you to help me do the claim on my
behalf and invest it till i finish my education as i am
too young to take care of the money now so please get back
to me as quick as possible so that i can give you the contact
of the of bank manager for you to contact him
