FROM: Miss L. B. CHRISTOPHER MISSIONARY QUARTERS A15 CHURCH ROAD ACCRA GHANA.
Greetings to you,
I feel good contacting you today I have read from your add in Internet knowing quiet well that this contact will bring a lasting relationship. With regard to your reputation and co-worshipper of God who will not disappoint me nor deny me in faith, I am directing this letter of assistance to you.
I am Miss Louisa. Christopher the only daughter of Mr.Christopher from Republic of Zimbabwe in desire to get somebody who will safe guard my interest, that of my junior brother (Louis) and this money.Briefly, our father Mr. Christopher was a Gold and Cocoa merchant who based in Lome Togo, Abidjan cote d'Ivoire, and had a branch office here in Accra Ghana.
My father was a wealthy Gold/Cocoa merchant who has business in many countries in Europe, America and Asian countries.According to my father, my own mother Died when I was about six years of age, which means that I did not even know my mother very well.The story is that my father Mr. Christopher was Poisoned to death by his business associates, and he died in a private hospital here in Accra Ghana. But when he was about to die, he called us beside his sick bed and told us that he deposited the sum of Twenty million United State Dollars (US$20M) with a local bank here in Accra, the economic and administrative capital of Republic of Ghana.
This money was kept for us in my name, his only daughter. Right now I am a first year student of business management in one of the University here.My only problem now is that since my father has been poisoned to death by his business associates, I don't even trust any other person here again including my father's brothers and sisters.

Right now, I want you to help us in the following ways: 1)I want you to provide a personal / company's bank Account where this amount here (US$20M) can be Transferred. 2) You are going to be the manager of this fund and Also our personal guardian until we finished our studies.
3)You are going to procure admissions for us to continue our studies in one of the known university in your country.
4) You are going to receive 30% of the total sum for providing a bank account for this transfer.
5) That you must prepare immediately to make a working visit to ACCRA GHANA here so that me and you can see each other and we can then do the transfer at the same time and I will go back with you to your country.
We hope to receive your early response, as it will Encourage us, to stop establishing further contacts as It regards to this subject matters, so that we will furnish you With a private phone number where you can reach us Direct, on receipt of your positive response.
For your information, this place we staying now is a House of a church sister who saw our condition and Decided to house us for a while.
THIS BUSINESS IS HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL BECAUSE NONE OF OUR LATE FATHER'S BROTHERS AND SISTERS KNOWS ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
