“CRY FOR HELP
I am writing this mail to you with tears and sorrow from my heart. My name is Miss. 0vuve obidiegwu, 25yrs old female and I held from Burkina Faso . My father was the former Burkina Faso road Minister. He and Assistant Minister of Home Affairs Lorna Laboso died as a result of Gassy Car accident along high way of Bobo doulasso the formal capital city of my
country which is also my States Capital.
After the burial of my father, my step mother and uncle conspired and sold my father’s properties to an Italian expatriate which they shared the money among themselves and live nothing for me. My step mother has to do these things out of envy , One faithful morning, I opened my father’s briefcase and found out the documents which he have deposited huge amount of money in African Development Bank Ouagadougou, with my name as the next of kin. I travelled to Ouagadougou to withdraw the money for a better life so that I can take care of myself and start a new life, on my arrival, the Bank Director whom I met in person told me that my father’s instruction to the bank is that the money would only be release to me when I am married or present a trustee who will help me make the claim consequence upon the agreement reached with my Dad.
I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him or her to the Bank for transfer of the money to his or her bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own sister. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you, well I will say that my mind convinced me that you may be the true person to help me. More so, I will like to disclose much to you if you can help me to relocate to your country because my stepmother has threatened to assassinate me. Though she is in a different state now but we must have to hasten up and transfer this money so that i can prepare my travelling document and come over to your country. The amount is ($8.6M USD) Million United State Dollars
and I have confirmed from the bank in Ouagadougou and all they need to transfer the money is your active bank account information. So I want you to forward your account and you will also help me to place the money in a more profitable business venture in your Country.
However, you will help by recommending a nice University in your country so that I can complete my studies. It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to your self. I beg you not to disclose it till i come over because I am afraid of my wicked stepmother who has threatened to kill me and have the money.
Sincerely yours,
Kisses
