My father used his posesion to move out this consignment through a diplomatic means to the security company's affiliated vault outside my country because of the war, My father had the intention to travel over to the security company's vault outside our country to claim and retrive back this consignment and use the money for an overseas investment, Before he was killed, as a result of the political war in my country which i believe that you must have heared about it over the news media, Pls since i am left alone as an orphan having lost my father and other members of my family that is why i have decided to contact you to seek for your total hlp and assistance in retriving this consignment since due to my age as a girl and coupled with my present situation and my inablity to travel out of my country to the vault of the security company, i want you to help me to claim and retrive this conignment and have the money invested in your country and as well help me to relocate to
your country to start my life again and as well to conclude my education My Greatest problem is that the only person who is surposed to care for me (My Uncle) has refused to care for me as he is only interested in my late father's left properties which he has totally taking over without making any provision for me well being, My uncle decided out of his wicked heart and drove me away from his compound because of my unhappy actions against him over my late father's left properties which he has totally taken over without any provision for me well being Presently i am staying alone and i find it hard to survive and to sustain myself, Of cause i decided not to let him know about this consignment because if he by any means know about it, He will look for a way to take it away from me if possible he might want to kill me considering the amount on money that my father left, Pls i seek for your assistance, I seek your advise, I seek your suggestion and unreserved help in this
