Subject: trustworthy person needed urgently
Therefore, I do not want you to be surprised at the nature of my contact with you; the truth is that I actually got your contact on the World Wide Web (www) while I was in search of a trustworthy investor for assistance that will help me invest this some of money. Basically I need someone sent by
God, who will not be of any mischief nor take undue advantage of my present situation.
Furthermore, I want you to help me remit these funds from the security firm as i am incapable of doing it myself because I am since in Africa, my late farther also said that the trustworthy investor or person that is willing to help me will as well help me in furthering my education when I join
the person over there in his country.
I have with me the necessary document that the security firm gives to my father being secure with my name as a beneficiary.
Finally, i wish to tell you that after you might have remitted/collected the funds from the security company i intend for you to use the funds for the following;
1.To start a better life again and as well further my education.
2. Make a charity donation to ophanage home.
3. Meanwhile 25% of the total funds will be for you, for your Assistance
If you have interest you can mail me through this mail: kuffor100@yahoo.com for further details to be explained to you on how to can remit the consignment.
