Subject: Hello from princess Kumba,
*Hello from princess Kumba,
I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of
God for you to help me out of this predicaments , God almighty will bless
and reward you aboundantly.
I am Princess Kumba 23 years of age and single,I am loving, caring and home
oriented despite the fact that I am from royal family. I will love to have a
long-term relationship with you and to know more about you and build up a
solid foundation with you in time coming.
Well, my father is the king of my region in Rwanda and he died earlier nine
months ago and left my junior brother and I behind.His kingship was titled
to him by our town citizens over sixteen year before his death.
I was a princess to him and as such do take care of his wealth, because My
mother died long ago before my father.I knows quite well that we have not
meet with each other before in life,therefore I apologise for bothering
you with my problems if I do.
My father left the sum of USD,Twenty Three Million Eight Hundred thousand
United States of America Dollars ($23.8m) in a finance firm in Senegal.This
money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum
development company(SPDC) and chevron oil company operating in our locality
for the compensation of youths and community development in our
jurisdiction. It is sad that immediately after the death of my father the
kinsmen of our community turned against me because of this money .
However, I ran for my dear life out of my country Rwanda to the country
Senegal where the money was deposited by my father so that it will be
easier for me to make contact to the person that will help me and transfer
this money to his bank account.
I am now staying with my younger brother because my late father's kinsmen
threatens to kill me and my younger brother just because we are kid in other
to claim the funds.the funds was deposited by my late father.I write
therefore to seek your assistance in moving the funds out of the finance
firm to a foreign land or to your country for a better investment that will
see us through in life.I wouldn`t want my late father's kindred to take over
what belongs to me.
Now,I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the bank
in Senegal into your account. We are ready to pay you 20% of the total
amount to you if you could be of help to us, and also i will pay you an
annual 10% of the profit from any investment that you will help me to
establish in your country.
I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible, I will send you my
photograph and my phone number as soon as I hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
Princess Kumba.*
