Subject: VERY IMPORTANT AND URGENT.
University of Ghana Legon,
P.O.Box 25 Akuafo Hall Annex A 209.
Good Day,
I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the will of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you abundantly and you would never regret this. I am a MEDICAL STUDENT from University of Ghana Legon.
I am 24 yrs old. I am like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented despite the fact that I am from royal family. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me.
Well, my father died earlier ten months ago and left I and my younger sister behind.
He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.I was a prince to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior sister is still young and my mother died seventeen years ago during the birth of my younger sister Mercy who is seventeen years now.
My father left the sum of {$1,200, 000usd} ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS in the Bank.
This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company(spdc)and chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction. I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money some where in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my late father and our family, which they were planning to do without my consent because I am a tender in age as stated by our culture in the town.
Now,i urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the deposited Bank to your own Bank account,so that i and my younger sister can come over there and continue our education with the money That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact because I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely. I am ready to pay 30% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and i have mapped out5% for any expenses that may be incurred during the transfer process.
If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly give me your full details/ information to enable me meet our family lawyer so that he can go for the changing of all the neccesary document to your name as you are going to stand as the owner of this fund in question.
I will release the contact of the bank, including the account informations, for you to contact the bank directly for the release and transfer of the money into your own bank account,Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Prince Jerry kofi,
