Greetings,
I Donald and my sister Jenny may wish to know if we can entrust in you in helping us to receive the $35mUSD (Thirty Five Million United States Dollars) our parents had with a Financial Institution here before their untimely death by the assassins.
Our Father was a know politician and was assassinated alongside with my mother Carol on a good Sunday morning on their way to the church. If it is your wish to help us receive our money and keep it safe in an account, I and Jenny will start applying for our transcript in the school so that we can come over and conclude our Education.
Dear if this is possible for you .Can you assure us of the underlisted,when you receive this money as our Beneficiary, so as to enable us further our Education in your country.
1, Securing a 2 rooms apartment for I and Jenny, which we shall pay for.
2, Helping us investing on a profitable business and as well guiding the affairs of any investments the both parties will invest on as the managing director.
Thanks in hoping for your helpful suggestion & your kind response.
Yours Sincerely,
Donald & Jenny.
