Subject: FROM OMAR PRISCA
Hello Dearest One,
Good day, I hope that this my email will meet you in good manners and in a
perfect healthy condition ? Please, I am sorry to bother you with my
problems and I know that it's not by mistake that I am contacting you but by
the special grace of God.
I am Omar Prisca, 17years old and the only child of my late parents late {
Chief and Mrs Gabriel Omar} My mother died when i was a baby, and My father
established his Cocoa business in Accra Ghana West Africa, and he died
shortly of heart attack.
His death has now made me an orphan and i am exposed to danger.But Before
the unfortunate death of my father,he told me about some money {$9.5 Million
U.S.Dollars} and a Gold Dust which he kept inside two metallic boxes
deposited with a Security Company here in Accra Ghana as a family treasure
for safe keeping.
Since the death of my father, my uncles have sent me out of our house and
collected most of my late fathers properties except this money that they do
not know about, they said that i am a female child and for that reason
according to our tradition i do not have right to family entitlement.
I am presently taking shelter in a church with a certain pastor and his
family. 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 legal
documents with me here and the key to the boxes. And my father did not
disclose the content of the two trunk boxes to the security company to avoid
the officials from raising eye brows to it.
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 this is why i am seeking for your assistance to
help me stand before the company as my foreign beneficiary partner or my
guardian to receive the trunk boxes in your country so that i can come over
to meet you and continue my education.
Please help me and stand as my guardian and contact the security company. I
will love it most if you will come down here to be sure of what i am saying
and after the transaction, i will go back with you After you have help me
get my inheritance. So I am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as a
compensation for your help and you will also help me with the investment of
this money since i do not have any idea of investment.
Expecting your soonest response.
Thank you and God bless
Yours Truly,
Omar Prisca.
