I want to tell you something very important though I am not suppose totell you now I know that you would be of good help to me but I think Ineed to tell you this because I think you may be a nice person and I felt youare a nice and caring person. And I think I can trust you in this too this iswhy I am telling you this. All I want you to do is to keep this as a topsecret between us. And also promise me that no other person will hear this ok. Right now am really going through hard and terrible life with mymother. Actually it happened when I lost my dad my dad is dead and I am left with my mum. So after the death of my father his family member came to the house and collected everything my dad left behind for us. And theyask me and my mum to leave the compound and they sold the house. Wecould not able to find them again because of the war that happened in my country Liberia so just last week my mum show to me some documentswhich my dad use to deposit $19Million US dollars in a bank here inGhana and also a agreement letter with the bank and he use my name asthe next of kin to the funds. So when my mum shows to me the documents I was so happy so I travel to Ghana with my mum. When we get to the bank and we presented all the legal documents that was given to my father at the time of depositing the fund with the bank we were told that the money isstill with the bank but they cannot transfer the money to us here in Africabecause my dad went into an agreement with them at the time of depositingthe fund that the fund should be transferred on express transfer to leave Africa. I never knew my dad was planning of opening a company abroad.So on our way out of the bank one of the staff of the bank advice us to lookfor a trust worthy foreign partner to help us receive the funds from thebank. So I want you to help us contact the bank so that the bank cantransfer the money of my late father to you so that I and my mum can come over to your country and meet you so we all can start a better and happy life again. Please I want you to understand that I trust you and I know you can help me and my family because we are passing through hard moments here in Ghana I am a beautiful girl and so when people see me they don't know the condition that I am undergoing due the reason that I don't want people to know the stress and pains we are passing here inGhana and then we meet and live life to the fullest and I feel we can betogether if it is meant to be that is why am telling you this top secretbecause am sacred and this is all we have left in this world. I believe you can understand my present situation. I trust you that is why I am tellingyou this. As am writing you this mail my eye is full of tears because my mum is seriously sick and we don't know any body here in Ghana .

We really need your help.Life is so hard and terrible for me and my mum right now in Ghana becausewe don't have any helper. I think I've truly been blessed by finding you andI’ll never let you go away from my life. I will want you to understand that we are going to sign an agreement before the bank will transfer the fund of my late father to you because we have not met before now and the Agreement is for the security reason of the funds too. So I will like you toprovide this information so that I and my mum can get the Agreement donefrom a lawyer here in Ghana and send you a copy of it to sign. So pleasereply me with your Full nameAgeOccupation and address.
