Dearest,,
How are you hope u are fine? How is your family hope they are fine too. For purpose of introduction, My name is Evlyn Peter. I wanted to discuss something with you,thats really bothering me.
I know you will be supprise how I got your email address, but don't be suprise I got it while I was browsing along the net also I know this sound somehow strange to you
because we have not met phisically. But I promise to be nice. I am about to tell you something that I have not discuss with anyone. My father(Mr. Mosola Peter) was a big time farmer in South Africa, he uses most of South Africa land for farming. The Government in South Africa gave him those lands for farming and he will pay back when he get the money. My father was very successfull in the farming business and he paid back. Some top officials in the Government were Jealous of him because of his wealth.
They wanted him to do a rotegated business with them but he refuse, so they planned to kill him and claim all his wealth in South Africa.
On his way home one day he was coming from work they shot him, and he was rushed to the hospital but he did not survived it. But before his death he saw it coming and package most of his fund on a consignment and deposited it in a security company in ASIA. He died in the hospital,But before he died he gave me the contact information of the security company as the only daugther. Those people were looking for me and my family and we ran
to Thailand for safety. My lawyer contacted the security company some weeks back on how I could claim the consignment and they told him that I need a beneficiary outside Africa for security reasons. And I dont have anyone outside Africa that will stand for me as a beneficiary. They said the money was too big ($20m) My father never told me the amount of the money I was so shock. My lawyer told me to look for a beneficiary. That is my problem now, my family and I is willing to give $7m to the person that will help the family. Please if u can help me in
any way I will appreciate it alot. I will like to hear from u soon, with your full name and phone number, for easy contact with you okay.
Please i will prefer you reply me via my personal alternative email
address for now.
Evelyn Peter.
