Hello,

I am Benjamin Bongo from Gabon Africa.

My parents died recently during the war crisis in my country. Civil unrest is devastating my country and I desperately need your help.

My late father, bless his memory, deposited the sum of (US $30,000,000. 00) together with some gold certificates in a trust with a leading financial firm. I am named on the trust as the executor. One of the stipulations of the trust is that I be 30 years old to administer the funds, I am 26 years. The only way to access the funds is to have an adopted parent.

My plan, with your help of course, is to transfer the funds to your country under the auspices that you will help me grow the money through investments as your adopted son. I will forward you the contact information of the financial firm where my father deposited the money with some documents you'll need to confirm your acceptance of me as your adopted son.

After the initial transaction I will need help to prepare my traveling documents and an airplane ticket to come over to meet with you as your adopted son. We will then invest the funds and share the earnings, or if you don't intend continuing our agreement, it will be my pleasure to compensate you with half of the total funds and gold certificates for your help.

Your contact information was given to me through some kind hearted souls who were unable to help me due to legal issues, they are divorcing and haven't told a soul. I hope that you can find it in your heart to help me.

Best Regards
Benjamin
