Hello,
Compliments of the day. i came across your contact address while searching
for someone to help us, and decided to contact you, to write you because I
have no other alternative. My mother was searching for a foreign partner to
help us invest and to relocate, before she died of cancer 2 months ago. Now
it is left me and my brother. We tried to get
the money from the bank, but the bank will not listen to us, they said we
are too young, that we need a partner or a trustee.
I don't know how to safeguard the money even if I could get it; It is 7.5
million us dollars presently in Bank. I am afraid I don't know how and where
to start about it. Please if you can help me and my brother try to reply me
urgently as i will explain more to you and we can discuss fully and God
will always bless you for your help which I know you shall never regret.
I am Waiting eagerly to hear from you.
Please i like you to email me on my mail box(mary_komana@live.fr)
Regard
Miss MARY KOMANA
