God bless you Dear friend,
I felt greatly impressed after getting your email contact address from the internet. I have taken my time to pray before I tell you about this. I want you to understand that my contact with you is not by accident. It is true that we have not known each other for the first time but just getting to know one another which I strongly believe that it will take us to great relationship financially and otherwise. Before I continue with my discussion with you, let me introduce myself in details. I am Linda Wilson the daughter of late Mr. and Mrs. Jean Wilson who dies in 2001 when i was 16 years old.
My father was a very wealthy Civil Engineer in United Kingdom, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip . My mother died when I was a baby and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my father on November 2001 in a private hospital in Uk, he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum of Ten million five hundred thousand Pounds Sterling. (10,500,000 Pounds Sterling) left in Zenith bank London he used my name as his only Daughter for the next of Kin in depositing of the money.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel management , I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways. After the death of my late father, my anty took me to United Arab Emirates where she got married but, my late father told me never to let my anty know about the money and ever since, she has been treating me badly and now, i want your assistance to leave this country.
1) To assist me claim out the money in the bank where my late father deposited the money.
2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 22 years old.
3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my education.
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum as compensation for your effort/ you indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14) days you signify interest to assist me. Anticipating to hear from you soon. I am happy to have somebody like you as a guardian.
Thanks and bless.
Best regards,Linda Wilson
