Subject: URGENT
Good day,
I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the will of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and reward you abundantly and you would never regret this.
I am a MEDICAL STUDENT from University of Ghana Legon. I am 27 yrs old. I am like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented despite the fact that I am from royal family.
I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction.
Well, my father died earlier ten months ago and left I and my younger sister behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him over sixteen years before his death.
I was a prince to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my junior sister is still young and my mother died seventeen years ago during the birth of my younger sister Mercy who is seventeen years now.
My father left the sum of USD,$7,000, 000 dollars (SEVEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) in the Bank.
This money was annually paid into my late fathers account from Shell petroleum development company(spdc)and chevron oil company operating in our locality for the compensation of youth and community development in our jurisdiction.
I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my late father and our family, which they were planning to do without my
consent because I am a tender in age as stated by our culture in the town.
Now,i urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the deposited Bank to your bank account, That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact because I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.
I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this transaction and i have mapped out5% for any expenses that may be incurred during the transfer process and another 10% interest of Annual Income to you forhandling this transaction for us which you will strongly have absolute control over. If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly reach me.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to commence the transaction as quick as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Prince James Kwame,
University of Ghana Legon,
P.O.Box 25 Akuafo Hall Annex A 209.
