Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to initially bring my best for good health and success in your blissful pursuits particularly through my solemn business proposal as contained herein. After my fasting and prayers, I got a good piece of information about you during my search for a trust-worthy and honest person who can handle this business with me confidentially and with the fear of God. I am Timothy Wilson, 25years old, a University Undergraduate and the only son of my late parent King Johnson Wilson. My Father was the late King of Nimba County and a highly reputable businessman (Gold & Diamond Merchant) here in Ghana during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in London during one of his business trips abroad on 12 Nov. 2005. My Mother died when I was 4 years old, and since then my Father took me and my junior sister so special. Though my Fathers sudden death was suspected to have been masterminded by his relatives, but God knows the truth! Before hi!
s
death, he deposited the sum of US$21Million with other precious items in a metallic trunk box in a Security Company here in Ghana, he tagged it as family valuable items for security reasons, he told me to contact the company for them to know me as I am his next of kin which I did as he instructed, and he warned me not to allow any of his relations to know about this, because if they might kill us and claim all his property. And I should seek for a foreign partner who can help me and my junior sister, retrieved the trunk box and also travels with him/her to continue our education over there, and later go into business partnership with the person after my education. This is why I contacting you to help us retrieve this trunk box from the security company custody to your country and also make an arrangement on how we will come over to your country to continue our education. We have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of being an orphan. The death of my Father actually

Consider this and get back to me soon as possible through this email: timwilson@tlen.pl with your full assurance that you will not disappoint me in any way, and I will give you the contact of the security and Courier Company where my late father deposited the trunk box. Moreover, I am willing to offer you 30% of the total sum as compensation for your effort after these funds is successfully retrieved, while 5% will be set aside to offset any expenses that may come out. Furthermore, I will also want you to know that my father gave to me all the Documents that will back you up the claim of this fund without any problem. I wait to hear from you as soon as you receive this message. May Almighty God bless you and your family abundantly. Cordially yours,Timothy Wilson
