Subject: Hi Dear
Hello,
I am a young lady from Rwanda, presently in Senegal as an asylum sicker. I went through your profile and it atracted me to share this business upportunity with you hoping that you will not disapoint me at the end. am only asking for your help to stand as my late fathers foreign business partner to make claims to my inherited money usd$5m that was deposited by my late father which is right now in a banking firm waiting for me to claim, but for the simple fact that the financial local law of this country Senegal does not permit my statues as refugee to handle such transaction. I will give you more details if you reply me with interest. For privacy please do communicate me here (viviang102000@yahoo.co.uk). I promise 15% of the total money will be given to you, if you can help us. Thanks, Vivian
