Subject: Dearest One!.
Dearest One,Good day to you.My name is Levi Egondu from Sierra Leone, I am the only son of late Mr Robert Egondu from Sierra Leone, who was killed in Cote d ivoire where he based as an exporter/contractor he also deals on Gold.During one of his visit to my country he handed me some documents which he used in depositing the sum of $18.5 (eighteen million And Five hundred thousand US dollars ) with a security company before his death,my father deposited this money as a family valuables.My father married my mother as his legitimate wife unfortunately she died when I was only five so my father was forced to have another wife and since this woman came into my fathers life things has not been easy with me, she treats me as a slave and try as much as possible to eliminate me if possible for her as the only child, this pushed my father to keep me away from her to save my life as the only child he has because the woman was unable to bear any child for him and to avoid
misunderstandings between us.Why I contacted you is to seek for your urgent assistance to represent in the security company as my late fathers foreign business partner, to take me as your own biological child,to look for a good school in your country where i will further my education immedaitely the security company releases the box to you. I don't no my father's relations since I was rejected by my father's wife and I have no other person to turn to rather than to seek for an assistance elsewhere. Things has not been easy since I lost my father and I have been managing for the past three years since I lost my father.I am now in the United Nation Refugee Camp.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company in, I will also issue a letter of authorization to the Security Company that will prove you the present beneficiary of the box because it was deposited as family valuables, the security company did not know the content of the box so you
have to keep it secret until you claim the box.Please when replying send me the following items so that i will submit it to the security company as my late fathers foreign business partner:1,Your Name......................................................2,Telephone and fax number............................3,Your Photo.......................................................4,Your Home Address......................................5,Your Occupation..............................................6,Your Country name......................................God bless.Master Levi Egondu.
