Subject: PRIVATE
Dear friend,
Please respond to this message as soon as possible as I needed your urgent assistance toward this great offer I'm offering you from the source of my mind! I'm very sorry if I have disturbed your privacy with my message but please do not ignore my proposal as I really needed your urgent assistance towards this offer I'm offering you.
I want start by introducing myself, my name is Grace Ann Smith, and I am 24years old from London - England, where I school and work as a tailor forpart time job after my school. I am the only daughter of my parents my father died on a fatal car accident on his way to see my sick mother athospital where she was admitted for Cancer treatments, she gave up to death when she heard about the news of my father in same day and hospital.
Before the death of my father, he had willed part of his Real Estate Business, Gas Stations and a total sum of £50,700,000.00(Fifty Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling) to me. Now at his death, and because things has become very hard for me paying myschool fees, putting food on the table and taking care of my other needs which my tailoring job I do as a part time work after my school can't help so, I went to the bank where my late father deposited the funds on my behalf to withdraw money to take care of my self and pay
for my school fees and other bills.
I was shocked when the Bank Manager explained to me that I will not be able to draw from the deposited money, because my father had putting a clause on the Will, which he usedin depositing the funds with them, saying that before I will be given access to the money, I will either have to be 30 years old or I will begiven access to the money, if I get married before the age of 30 , in which case, my husband will be legible to collect the money on my behalf by standing in as my late fathers next of kin to claim the deposited funds on my behalf.
But today I am only 24 years old. And I have no access to the money till I'm 30 years. So, I’m contacting you to stand in as my husband to claim this fund on my behalf if you are married already, you can still help me by standing in as my late fathers next of kin to the deposited funds. So, please get back to me as to know how you will be remunerated as I will part with 40% of the total sum £50,700,000.00 (Fifty Million, Seven Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling), while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses that we're to use to receive the money from the deposited Bank.
Please remember that I am writing you this email purely on the ground of trust so we can achieve this deal together. This transaction will last for two weeks after you get back to me on how serious you are to claim these funds on my behalf.
Best regards,
Grace Smith.
NB.
I will appreciate if you reach me at my private mail: smith_grace26@myway.com
