Subject: CAROL HERE NEEDS YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE
Dearly Beloved,
Please do not let this my letter keep you wondering why should it be
you that I will trust with these information’s that I am about to
reveal to you, please I need you to trust and believe in me if you
can,God is everywhere and can connect people everywhere and anytime.
Please I need you to make out time to read this mail attentively to be able
to understand the content.
My names are Carol Mbakwe, I am 17 years of age and the only
surviving child of my parents, Mr Sam and Mrs Alice Mbakwe, My parents were
Natives of Ghana, they migrated to the United States when I was
just 4 year old. We lived at No 215 West Wieuca Road Northeast Atlanta,
Georgia USA, and I attended the famous Frederick Douglas High School
northwest Atlanta, Georgia USA, but when my mother fell sick and died
June 2001, My father became weak every now and then, he will fall
sick just because his life love was gone, I believe it was the shock of my
mum's sudden death that caused his illness. He got retired from his
office, Fidelity National Insurance Company at No 200 Galleria
Parkway Southeast Atlanta GA 30339 USA October 2004, from there we move to
New York City because of my Dad’s medication.
Then December 2005 my father called me and told me that he doesn't
want to die in a foreign land. That he has made enough money, that he
felt the best thing for him to do now is for us to relocate back to
his home country of Ghana so that he can set up his own Insurance
company and give job opportunities to his people, he also told me that he
want me to learn about his people and their culture.. On the 14 of December
2005 we returned back to Ghana. When we came back from the states,
he was lucky enough to get some of his late father's legacy which he
inherited as the first son,the estate indeed worth big money, he had
no other choice than to dispose the estate based on his own initiative
that he want to set up, now the money he had with him and the one he
got from his inheritance increased.
Then after some time my Dad started to look for properties to buy to
use for an office, in several occasions I went out with him to
inspect some properties. But unfortunately on the 22nd of February 2006 my
father collapse and later died.Why am I telling you, a total stranger
you may ask!!! The reason is I am revealing to you my family's secret
is because my late Dad's final burial as Africa culture to a wealthy
man is over and my uncle is searching every where looking for my late
father's bank documents that my dad used in depositing all his money
when his sickness became serious.
But he doesn't know that I have hiden the documents in a safe place
outside the house where he can not find it, based on my late dad
advice on his sick bed before his death.. This secret has been in my mind
for
some time now and I don't even know who to tell because I need
someone to help me received this money in a foreign account to enable me
leave here peacefully,these same people that call themselves my relative
are mean and are ready to eliminate me because of this inheritance if
they discovered that my late father left such huge amount of money for me
as his only daughter and the next of kin to his wealth, my late father even
warned me to relocate if he happens to die..This is the reason why I
make contact with you to help me received the money. That means you
will provide an account where the money will be transferred into then
I will take the next available flight to join you once you confirm to
me that you have received the money in your account. I have thought
about it and I came to the conclusion that this is the only way I can get
the money safe and transferred out of here without my uncle knowing about
it, my late father warned me to be very careful and that I should
make sure I secure this money for my future.
If you have the believe that you can help me please respond to this
mail and include with it your telephone number to enable me give you
a call then we can talk.My spirit, my soul, my heart and the spirit of
God dwelling inside of me asked me to confide and trust you for this
project. I know you will never cheat on me because I am convinced
that God will never permit me to contact the wrong person, l know that He
works in a miraculous way that still remain misery to man,the same
revelation to help an orphan will start from you..
Please get back to me ASAP with a telephone number to reach you.
Carol Mbakwe.
