HELLO FRIEND,
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 our
family, God Almighty will bless and reward you abundantly and you
would never regret this.
My family and I are true Christians and worship God truthfully. I got
your contact during my search for this assistance. I am a female
student from Université de Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. I am 22 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 help me in this transaction. Well, my father died earlier
three months ago and left I and my younger 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 brother is still young and my mother
is not literate enough to know my entire father's wealth.
He left the sum of USD 27.350, 000M (twenty Seven Million, Three
Hundred and Fifty Thousand US Dollars) in a security company. This
money accrued from annual royalties been paid my late father by 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 consent because I am a female, and as stated
by our culture in the town, I am forbidden from taking share of the wealth
and there is every tendency that my younger brother will be edged out
of this by the community which will rather put us in a state of abject
penury.
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 30% of
the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and
another 10% interest of Annual Income to you, for handling this
transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over
it. 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 my
picture as soon as I hear from you for recognition.
Yours sincerely,
PRINCESS ELIZABETH YOLANDE (Ms)
