Subject: FORM Miss Florence Awan
Good Day Dearest
Please i want you to know that it's not by mistake I am contacting you but
by the special grace of God.
I am 17 years miss Florence Awan and the only child of my late parents
{Chief. Steve and Mrs Angela Awan} presently I am staying in a church.
My father established his gold business in Accra Ghana, and he died shortly
of heart attack, His death has now made me an orphan and i am exposed to
danger.
Before the death of my father,he called me on his bed side and reveal to me
about some funds $11.2 million U.S.Dollars and some gold dust that he packed
inside two metallic trunk boxes which he deposited with a Security Company
here in Accra Ghana as a family treasure
He told me that 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 papers with me here and my father did not disclose the
content of the two trunk boxes to the security company to avoids the
officials from raising eye brows to the funds.
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 that 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 stand for me and help me claim the trunk boxes so that i will come
there for my medical school.
You will also help me for the investment of the fund in a viable business
there in your country, i will be very glad if you can come to Ghana here to
meet me so that i can take you direct to the company.
I am willing to offer to you 15% of the total sum as a compensation for your
help.
Expecting your soonest respond.
Thank you and God bless you.
Sincerely,
Miss Florence Awan
