Subject: Regards,
September 13, 2007.Regards,I will like to apologize for sending you this mail without seeking your permission. I am Kenneth woods 17yrs old and I am a Liberian I am not completely educated I stop schooling a year ago after I completed my 11th grade though I am still interested in completing my education, I am not very educated 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 the best reason) which is know to him. Until civil war in Liberia. Last year October my father was shot by unknown gun man a shocking death. Scene I have been finding it hard to survive on my own, but I still get some little assistance from sum family members.Presently now I’m in Ghana Accra on the refugee camp alone I was able to cross two borders to get in Ghana Accra’s. My purpose of contacting you is to seek your help; I was informed by my late father former lawyer that my father has an amount of $7.5million USD in a bank in Ghana. And my name is there for any claim which I have searched through my father file and I find out that it is true. I have gone to the bank on several occasions but they wouldn't give me attention, because they keep repeating that I am too young to forward any claim. Though what they say is true, but last week I was made to understand by a man who works in the bank from inside the bank, and he told me that the bank is trying to steal my right from me, meaning that I might loss this money if I don’t get help soon. 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 his success.I am writing to you, because I want you to help me, so that we can get this money out of Africa, to start another life entirely in your country. Please if I can trust in your sincerity and honesty to help me, I will give you 20% of the total funds, and I will want you help me invest the money in any profitable means and take care of me. All I will need form you is to act as my step dad who is taking care of me and you need this founds to get in to your accounts. The lawyer will grant you every legal document.And all will go legally. I will really need your help in this. As a refugee I have nobody to trust here. I will really need to get out of Africa.I will be expecting to hear from you.ThanksWarm RegardsKenneth woods.
