Dearest One,
Good day, how are you and your family as well your work? I hope fine. Please, I am very sorry to bother you with my problem. Please know that it's not by mistake I am contacting you but by the special grace of God. My name is Kotey Benson from Sierra Leone. I am 22years old and the only child of my late parents late {Chief and Mrs Doris Johnson Kotey} I do not know my mother, she died when i was a baby. My father established his cocoa business in Accra Ghana, and he died shortly of heart attack his death has now made me orphan and i am exposed to danger.
Â
Before the unfortunate death of my father, he called me on his bedside and reveal to me about some funds $12.5 million U.S.Dollars in one of the prime banks here and gold dust which he kept inside two metallic boxes which he deposited with a Security Company in Accra Ghana as a family treasure. Since the death of my father, my uncles have sent me out of our house, they said that i am a Small Innocent boy that i do not have any rite in the family and i became a refugee in my father's land. I am presently living with a pastor and his family here in Ghana.
Â
My father said he used my name as his only child as his next of kin to the deposit and in case he fails to make it that I should take care of myself and get someone to help invest the money for me. I have all the papers with me here and the key to the boxes, my father did not disclose the content of the two trunk boxes to the security company to avoids the officials from raising eye brows to the deposited boxes.
 Presently I have contacted the security company about my claim of the trunk boxes but the security company told me that my father made an agreement with the company management that they should not release the two trunk boxes to me without a foreign partner that is why i am seeking for your assistance to help me stand before the company and the bank as my foreign beneficiary partner or my guardian to receive the money from the bank and also the two trunk boxes in your country so that i can come over to meet you and continue my education.
Â
Please help me and stand for me as my guardian and contact the bank and the security company. I will love it most if you will come down here so that after the transaction i will go back with you to your country for a better future. I am willing to offer to you 15% of the total sum as a compensation for your help and you are still going to be the one to help me with the investment of this money since i do not have any idea about investment. Expecting your soonest respond.
Thank you and God bless you.
Truly Benson Kotey.
