FROM OMAR PRISCA
Dearest One,
Good morning, how are you and your family as well as your work? I hope fine.
Please, I am very sorry to bother you with my problem. Please know that it's
not by mistake I am contacting you but by the special grace of God.
My name is Omar Prisca from Ivory Coast. I am 17years old and the only child
of my late parents late {Chief and Mrs. Gabriel Omar} I do not know my
mother, she died when i was a baby.
My father established his cocoa business in Accra Ghana, and he died shortly
of heart attack his death has now made me orphan and i am exposed to danger.
Before the unfortunate death of my father,he called me on his bedside and
reveal to me about some funds $9.5 million U.S.Dollars and gold dust which
he kept inside two metallic boxes which he deposited with a Security Company
here in Accra Ghana as a family treasure.
Since the death of my father, my uncles have sent me out of our house, they
said that i am a female child that i do not have any rite in the family and
they call is their custom.
I am presently living with a certain pastor and his family here in Ghana.
My father said he used my name as his only child as his next of kin to the
deposit and in case he fails to make it that I should take care of myself
and get someone to help invest the money for me. I have all the papers with
me here and the key to the boxes, my father did not disclose the content of
the two trunk boxes to the security company to avoids the officials from
raising eye brows to the funds.
Presently I have contacted the security company about my claim of the trunk
boxes but the security company told me that my father made an agreement with
the company management that they should not release the two trunk boxes to
me without a foreign partner that is why i am seeking for your assistance to
help me stand before the company as my foreign beneficiary partner or my
guardian to receive the trunk boxes in your country so that i can come over
to meet you and continue my education.
Please help me and stand for me as my guardian and contact the security
company.
I will love it most if you will come down here so that after the transaction
i will go back with you to your country for a better future.
I am willing to offer to you 15% of the total sum as a compensation for your
help and you are still going to be the one to help me with the investment of
this money since i do not have any idea about investment.
Expecting your soonest respond.
Thank you and God bless you.
Truly Prisca Omar.
