My father was a wealthy Gold/Cocoa merchant who has business in many
countries in Europe, America and Asian countries.According to my father, my

not even know my mother very well.
The story is that my father Mr. Christopher was Poisoned to death by his

hospital here in Accra Ghana.
But when he was about to die, he called us beside his sick bed and told us
that he deposited the sum of Two Million seven hundred thousand United State
Dollars (US$2.7M) with a local bank there in Accra, the economic and
administrative capital of Republic of Ghana.
This money was kept for us in my name, his only daughter. Right now I am a
first year student of business management in one of the University here.My
only problem now is that since my father has been poisoned to death by his
business ssociates, I don't even trust any other person here again including
my father's brothers and sisters.

1)I want you to provide a personal / company's bank Account where this
amount here (US$2.7M) can be Transferred.

guardian until I finished my studies.
3)You are going to procure admissions for us to continue our studies in one
of the known university in your country.

account for this transfer.
5) That you must prepare immediately to make a working visit to ACCRA GHANA
here so that me and you can see each other and we can then do the transfer
at the same time and I will go back with you to your country.
We hope to receive your early response, as it will Encourage us, to stop
