Subject: JAMES NEED YOUR ASSTANCES
Dearest one,
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 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 James Mbakwe, I am 20 years of age and the only surviving child of
my parents, Mr Sam and Mrs Alice Mbakwe, My parents were Natives of Nigeria,
they migrated to the United States when I was just 4 year old. We lived at
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 caused his illness. He got retired
from his office, Fidelity National Insurance Company at 200 Galleria Parkway
Southeast Atlanta GA 30339 USA October 2004,from there we moved 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
Nigeria, so that he can set up his own Insurance company and give job
opportunities to his people, he also told me that he wants me to learn about
his people and their culture. On the 14 of December 2005 we returned back to
Nigeria. 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 receive 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 discover that my late father left
such huge amount of money for me his only son 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 am contacting you to help me recieve this 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 and my heart tells me to confide and trust you
for this project. I know you will never let me down as 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 men,the same revelation to
help an orphan will start from you.
Please get back to me ASAP with a telephone number to reach you.
James Mbakwe
