Dearest One,
happy day to you and your families
I saw your identify profile in a site
during my research for a reliable person
overseas who will come to my aide by
assisting me in transferring my late father's money
for investment.I hope that you will be of help and
honest with me in managing this money for me for
Investment.Meanwhile i will like you to email me on time because I want to leave this place immediately to avoid the people that assassinated my
beloved father not to kill me. presently i am hiding in a hotel and I have decided
to remain here until I hear from you, and again i want you to assure me with every possibilty of the safety of this money in your position before I will give you the contact of the bank.So that you will then contact the Bank on my behalf as my late father's business partner overseas and that you want me
to come over to your Country to stay with you
and continue my education.And that you want them to
transfer my late father's money in their bank to your
account for investment.
Thanks and God bless you.
