Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSISTANT / PLEASE REPLY URGENTLY.
*Dear Brothers / Sisters,
How are you doing today?, i hope you are fine.
Firstly, I will like to introduce myself before any other thing. I am
Kofi Nana by name, from Federal Republic of Ghana. I am 24 years old boy,the
only son of Late Chief Nana Kurume who died after a brief illness on 20th of
April 2008, My father died left only me and my two junior sisters Joy and
Linda, while our mother died seven years ago.
Ever since my father died, two of my father's junior brother chose to
be treating us like slaves as if their hands are in my fathers death. Now
they have decided to tell i and my sisters to park out of our fathers house
that my father was owning some money to a bank so for that the have sold our
house without my concern because they think am still a small boy.
So my dear, why am contacting you now is there is $1,300,000.00 USD
{One Million Three hundred Thousand Dollar} my father left for us before his
death and i don't want his brothers to know about this money because the
will find another way to claim the money too, and my father deposited this
money to a bank with my name as next of kin. So I am now searching for a
good Christian who is truthful and trustworthy that can assist me to open an
account in USA with his or her name so that i will instruct the bank to
transfer the money to the account,or i will direct the person on how he or
she will contact the bank for them to transfer the money to his or her
account,and after that the person will also search for a small house there
in USA to rent for me because i want to come over there with my sisters to
live and finish our educations there in U.S.A.
So my good brothers and sisters , i want a trustworthy person to help
me out this problem because i don't want my uncles to kill us as they have
killed my father to claim his wealth. and am promising to give you 10% of
this money if you help me to achieve my goals and go out of this country
with my sister as soon as possible and I with my sisters will also take u as
part of our family. Or if you can help to accommodate us in your house till
we rent our own house there, that can be better too. Thanks and God bless
you as you chose to help me.
Your's faithfully,
Kofi Nana.
