Subject: A CRY FOR HELP.
Dear Sir,
Good day and Compliments,
I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish of
God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you
aboundantly and you would never regreat this.I am a female student from
University of Burkina faso,Ouagadougou. I am 25 yrs old. I'd like any person
who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love to have a long-term
relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a
solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in
this transaction.
Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left I and my junior brother
behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years
before his death.I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can
take care of his wealth now because my junior brother is still young and my
mother is not literate enough to know all my father's wealth. He left the
sum of US$7, 350, 000.00 dollars (Seven Million,Three Hundred and Fifty
Thousand US Dollars) in a security company.
This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell
petroleum development company(SPDC)and chevron oil company operating in our
locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our
jurisdiction.I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money
somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what
belongs to my father and our family, which they were planning to do without
my present because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town.
Now,i urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the
security company to your bank account, That is why I felt happy when I saw
your contact because I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will
help me invest this money wisely.I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount
to you if you help us in this transaction and another 10% interest of Annual
After Income to you, for handling this transaction for us, which you will
strongly have absolute control over.
If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in
lifting this fund, kindly reach me. Please, note that this transaction is
100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible,
I will send you the detail information as soon as I hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
Princess Joy Mekason
