Subject: I NEED YOUR TRUST
Dearest ,
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 abundantly.
My family and I are true Christians and worship's God truthfully. I got
your contact through Internet during my research on some one who could
help
us.
I am a female student from University of Nigeria, Lagos. I am 28 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 fathers died
earlier
two months ago and left my mother I and my junior brother behind. He
was
a king, which our town citizens titled him before his death. I was a
Princess
to him and I and my brother are the only people who can take Care of
his
wealth now because my mother is not literate enough to know all my
father's
wealth behind.
He left up to USD 27, 350, 000.00 dollars (Twenty Seven Million, Three
Hundred
and Fifty Thousand US Dollars ) with a security company, and 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. That is why I felt happy
when
I saw your contact which I strongly believe that by the grace of God,
you
will help me secure and invest this money. I thereby need your help in
bringing
the box containing the money out from the security company, based on
your
reply I will furnish you with more details on how we can proceed.
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 to you, for
handling
this business 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 und,kindly reach me and I will let you know the next step
to
take towards actualizing this transaction as quickly as possible.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free.
I look forward hearing from you soonest through this my email
address:es9ience@yahoo.co.in so that I can give you more information .
Yours sincerely,
Princess Cecelia Esien
