earlier
seven month ago in a tragic car accident while coming back from a
wedding

a titled King before his death.
I was his Princess and the only one now who can take care of his wealth
with
my kid brother, Presently we are in Cotonou for safety reasons because
of
the little wealth he left behind for us as we were being hunted by his
kingsmen who wants to make away with the huge money.My father left
(US$36,350.000.00) thirty six million three hundred and fifty thousand
USD

will
do to invest this money somewhere overseas so that his kindred will not
take
the money over what belong to my father, I am a young female as stated
and
by our culture that is why I was happy when I saw your contact and I
strongly believe that by the grace of God you will help us secure and
invest
this money.
I therefore need your help in bringing the boxes contaning the money
out
from the security company, based on your reply I will furnish you with
more
details on how we can proceed. Meanwhile, I am ready to pay 10% of the
total
amount to you if you help us in securing this money and another 10%
interest
of annual income for handling this business for us which you have
absolute
control over, if you can handle this project sincerely and also willing
to
assist me in lifting this money, kindly reach me and I will let you
know the
next step to take toward actualizing this transaction as quickly as
possible.
