Sir,
Please do not be surprise to receive this email. My name is Rose , I am
presently in Accra-Refugee camp with my younger Brother, due to our
condition since the death of our parent. However, I write to seek your
help/assistance to help us retrieve our consignment box (US$5.5Million
dollars) which is in the custody of a diplomat who brought it to your
country after Mr Putra Augus disappointed us out of his greediness. Please
reply, to enable me give you more details. Kindly email me via :

Regards,
Miss Nkama
