Subject: FROM Miss Amina Abdulghani,URGENT REPLY NEEDED
Hello,
My name is Miss Amina Abdulghani 20 years old from the Darfur, Sudan now under (UNHCR) asylum protection with my brother in Ghana because of
the war in my native country.
My father was killed along side with my mother during the long civil war and his properties were totally destroyed.
However, after their death I managed to escape with a very important file of my father which stated that he deposited the sum of (US$4.5M)
Four Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars in one of the leading banks in Ghana.
I would appreciate you to represent me and my brother in withdrawing the fund and also help us invest in profitable ventures since we have a
limited knowledge in the business world.
I need your friendship and trust to start living again and put our horrible past behind us.

Thanks and God bless you.
Amina.
