Dearest one,
l know this mail will come as a surprise to you. I have a proposal for you to this project however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail, I am Miss Alice Addo, I am 22years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr. and Mrs. Gebriel Addo. My father was a highly reputable farmer (a cocoa merchant) in Accra Ghana during his days.
It is sad to say that he was poisoned and passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 14th. May 2007.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by my uncle who traveled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me so special.
Before he made the trip to France that lead to my misfortune (his death) He called me and explained to me the reason why he will make this trip and also told me that he deposited a trunk box that contain US$ 18.5m in a Security Company here in Accra Ghana and that this money is for an investment purpose overseas.
He gave me the certificate that he used for the deposit of the trunk box and other vital documents of his asset, after his death l went to the security company and establish ownership of the consignment. Now l need your assistance to move this box to your country for investment as that has been my late father's aim before his death.
Knowbody know about the box and it content. According to my father, the box was deposited under maximum confidentiality as a family treasure, this means that the security company has no right to check what is in side the box, he said that if they find out that it contains money, they might want to kill him and take the money so please try and keep this confidential so that we will not have any problem from any where. now permit me to ask you this question;
Can you honestly help me receive the said Box, what will you like to take as your commission to assist me in this project? Please can you kindly arrange a letter of invitation to enable me migrate to your country after this fund might have lodge into your account? Are you ready to help and pay all charges to the security company for the transfer of the box to your country. If this proposal arouse your interest kindly contact me back with my email address immediately.
Thanks for your Understanding
Anticipat Your Cooperation.
Miss Alice Addo.
