Subject: Hello
Dear Friend,
How are you today?
I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it
is the will 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'm Christiana Gombeh, female student from University of
South Africa,
I am 25 years old. I would like to build up a solid
relationship with you
in time coming if you can be able to help me in this
transaction.
Well, my father Jerry Gombeh, he died earlier two months
ago and left I and
my yonger brother behind. He was a king, which our town
citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.
I’m a princess to him and I am the only person who can take
care of his wealth now because my younger brother is still
young and my mother is not literate enough to know all my
father's wealth. He left the sum of USD 8.350, 000.00
dollars (Eight Million, Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand US
Dollars) in a security company in South Africa. This money
was annually paid into my late fathers account from
Shell Petroleum Development Company (S.P.D.C) and chevron
oil company operating in our locality for the compensation
of youth and community development in our
country (Sao Tome and Principe, Western Africa, islands in
the Gulf of Guinea).
We are correntlly living in South Africa as a refugee.
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.
I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money
from the security
company to your bank account and I strongly believe that by
the grace of God,
you will help me invest this money wisely.
I am ready to give you some part of the total amount, if
you help us in this transaction.
If you can handle this project sincerely, kindly reach me
this e-mail address: christianagombeh@tsamail.co.za or
christingomeh@aim.com
Yours sincerely,
Christiana Gombeh
