Subject: your assistance
Complement of the season to you and your family,
I wish to beg your assistance. I am Kenneth Williams Jr. I hail from Liberia, but currently residing in Accra, Ghana. My kid sister and I were helped to Ghana by a church priest after our parents were killed in April, 1999 by rebel soldiers that invaded our home in Monrovia, Liberia during the civil war. My late father was then the chief protocol officer to the former Liberian President, Charles Taylor who is now in self exile in south east Nigeria.
Consequent upon the unfortunate incident, our education was halted and deferred. But thank God for a messiah who has volunteered to help see to the completion of our senior secondary education.
However, my main purpose of seeking your help is that I came across a Deposit Certificate of US$7,400,000:00 in my mother box while looking for our Junior Secondary School Certificate. I have been to the Security Company with the Certificate was confirmed. Though the Director of the Security Company. I need a foreign trustee to stand as the beneficiary for the consignment to be cleared.
Now, the problem is that I know no trusted or reliable foreigner who can stand as trustee and beneficiary of the deposited consignment. It is in view of this that I am reaching you with hope you would be of assistance to us.
I count on you for assistance either moral or otherwise. The Deposit Certificate will be sent to you for verification if you accept to help us out..
Thanks and God bless in anticipation of your acceptance to help.
Yours Faithfully,
Master Kenneth Williams Jr.
