Subject: is Miss Amina
Hello Dear,
My name is Miss Amina Abdulghani 20 years old from
Darfur, Sudan now under (UNHCR) asylum protection with
my brother in Ghana because of the war in my 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 fund with a private security vault.
The fund was registered, declared and deposited by my
father as family treasures for maximum security
reasons.
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.
