Subject: IMPORTANT.
Dearest,Good a thing to write you. I have a proposal for
you.However,my proposal is not mandatory nor will I in any manner
compel you to honour against your will.Ms Anita KWESI KOJO are
my names.I am 23 years old and the only daughter/child of my late
parents, Nana and Mr KWESI KOJO . My father was a highly reputable
business magnet who operated in the capital city of Ghana during his
days. It is sad to say that he was poisoned in France during one of his
business trips abroad in October, 2003 and he passed away six months
and four days later { 15th April, 2004 } at the Korle-Bu Teaching
Hospital here in Accra.Though his sudden death was linked or
rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle who traveled
with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I
was just 3 years old and since then my father took me so special.My
uncle is in charge of my father's businesses now.His wife just occupies
a seat and throws orders around as if the money they are sitting on
belong to them.I do all the house works while my uncle's children are
meant to sleep,eat and read their books.My uncle's wife will always
complain that the soup I prepared is not tasty due to lack of salt or
excess of it.I am shouted at or beaten up at every little mistake.I am
fed up.All I want now is to run away to a place where I would have
peace to live and further my education and I have contacted you to
assist me to transfer out of Ghana the sum of $15.3 Million U S Dollars
which my father deposited with a Security Company for my upkeep when it
became obvious he was going to die.I want you to use this money
to secure traveling papers, get a house, good school and invest the
rest for me in a lucrative business. My uncle do not know about this
money and my father,on his sick bed,warned me never to let him know
about it.I'll appreciate if you keep this letter secret or delete it if
you do not accept my proposal. You'll be rewarded with 20% of the total
funds should you accept to honour my proposal. And promise me you will
be faithful and trustworthy considering my situation and not to betray
me. I wait for your urgent reply.Best Regards,Ms Anita KWESI KOJO.
