Subject: Dearest One,
Dearest One,
Good morning, how are you and your family? I hope fine. Please, I am sorry to bother you with my problem.
Please know that it's not by mistake I am contacting you but by the special grace of God. I am Omar Prisca, 17years old and the only child of my late parents late {Chief and Mrs. Gabriel Omar} My
mother died when i was a baby. My father established his 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 unfortunate death of my father,he told me about some money {$9.5 million U.S.Dollars} and gold dust which he kept inside two metallic boxes that he deposited with a Security Company here in Accra Ghana as a family treasure. Since the death of my father, my uncles have sent me out of our house and collected most of my late fathe properties except this money that they do not know about, they said that i am a female child that i do not have any right in the family.
I am presently taking shelter in a church with a certain pastor and his family. My father said 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 legal papers with me here and the key to the boxes, 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 it.
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 help me and stand as my guardian and contact the security company.
I want you to come down here to be sure of what i am saying and after the transaction, i will go back with you.
After you have help me get my inheritance, you are going to also help me with the investment of this money since i do not have any idea of investment.
Expecting your soonest respond.
Thank you and God bless you.
Prisca Omar.
