Subject: Please help us, peter and mother
Good day,
My name is Peter Aruna the eldest child and daughter of late Chief Mallon Richardson, My father was a very rich and traditional African and made a lot of money from the sales of Crude Oil. we are four in my family are we are all from Liberia.On the 10th day of May 2004 he was on his way back from off shore he was attacked by some rebel fighters who killed him. We inherited the sum of million (Nine Million U.S Dollars) from my father, Before the death of my late father, we had already flew from our country(Liberia) to Abidjan because of the war in our country where i lost my little sister, and after the death of my late father, My father lawyer did came to meet me and my mother in Abidjan and then he gave us my father death certificate and document that stated he deposited his money with a bank in ghana, for safekeeping and transfer.
So we did leave Abidja and flew to Ghana for the claim of the money, when we came to Ghana we located the bank and presented all the legal documents to the bank, but the bank refuse to give to us the money of my father, they told us in the bank that my father has already registered the money to be transfer to a forign partner, so we speak to the bank and they advice us to look for a forign parter to help us contact them for the claim of the money.We need you to help us receive this moneys as our foreign partner, you help us contact the bank, to stand for us before the bank as our foreign partner then the bank would agree transfering to you.we would then have to come to your country and start a new and happy life there, we do want you to help us invest the money in a life time investment in your country since i am still a young man of 22 years without business idea and my and my mother dont have any business idea, We would give to you 20% of the total sum
of money for your help, and my mother did said that before this money can be release or transfer to you, that you will have to sign an agreement with my family so that we can trust you cause you know you have not meet you before and please we want you to keep our problem to your self only and i would send to you the legal document also that the bank give to my father when he deposited the money with them for your view if we hear from you,bye for now and hope to hear from you.
Peter and Mother
