GREETING TO YOU I will like to apologize for sending you this mail without seeking your permission, I got your contact from a foreign yellow page magazine, so I decided to seek your assistance. I am Ernest Devine and I'm 16yrs old an half-caste (Half Norwegian and half Ghanaian). I am not completely educated because I stop schooling a year ago after I completed my SSS level, though I am still interested in completing my education, I am not very education but I can try to make you understand the reason why I am seeking your help. I was born into a wealthy family, and things have been going on well (even though my father had divorced my mother for his person reason) until last year October when my father dead a shocking death. Ever still I have been finding it hard to survive on my own. My purpose of contacting you is to seek your help because I was informed by my late father's lawyer that my father deposited an amount of $1.5 million USD (one million and five hundred thousand united states dollars) with a security company, which I have searched through my father's file and I have all the document with me. I have gone to the security company on several occasions but they wouldn't give me attention, they told me I was too young to forward any claim. Meaning I still have to suffer for two year on my own to me 18 yrs before coming to claim my inheritance. I was made to understand by the company that my father deposited it as jewellery, meaning the company does not know the real content of the suitcase my father deposited. If I can present someone like my uncle or my late father's partner, then we can claim the suitcase from the security company. I can't trust any of my family members, because with a clear look from their relationship with my father when he was alive, they have always jealous my father's success. I am writing to you, because I want you to help me stand as my uncle or my father's business partner, after which we can carry the money to your country country, then I can start a new life entirely in your country. I will be expecting to hear from you. Please reach me only through my private email: dernest821@yahoo.com ThanksWram RegardsErnest Devine.
