Subject: ALL MY LIFE
Hello,
I got your contact during my search for a reliable, trust worthy and honest person.
Am Julie Ovo by name ,my late father used to be a gold merchant, he married my mother and were together for 26yrs without a male child, so he subdued to pressure from his family to remarry, so that he could have a male child who shall be heir apparent, in the process he re-married two other women whom both later had male children for him, so after the demise of my father, we were thrown out and left without nothing to suffer in abject penury, until the Attorney, my late father’s attorney contacted us and informed us that my father knew that should anything happen to him, we are going to suffer terribly and as a result made some very good arrangements for me and my two younger sisters, my mother and I, which he deposited some large sum of money with a security and finance company overseas and name me his eldest daughter next of kin, but that we cannot be accessed to the money unless we are able to look for someone reliable, foreigner who has no link with sub-Saharan
Africa to assist us claim this money , deposit same and assist us to re-locate overseas and invest wisely, according to the Attorney, he said my father added that clause just to protect us, so that should any of his relation know about this funds, they can never ever be able to claim it.
What I require from you is to assist me claim this money, that way I would have fulfilled the clause added by my late father by finding someone reliable, a foreigner who has no link with sub-Saharan Africa and that is why as a demonstration of my straight forwardness, I instructing , my late father’s attorney to furnish you with all the details, document, and certificates relating to these funds and how the funds can be released/transferred to you until we are able to secure our visas to join you.
Dear, my fears is that, will you be honest and reliable? Because there is a saying which say" money is the root of all evil and that is why i need someone who has an humann feeling to do this transaction with. So, can i really count on you?
I shall expect to hear from you soon
julie
