Dear

This message will come to you as a surprise since we haven’t known or come across each other before considering the fact that I sourced your email contact through the Internet in search of trusted person who can assist me.I am Helen Mbogo Edwards 24 years old female from Liberia, West Africa, am the only Daughter of Late prince Mbogo Edwards the deputy minister of national security under the leadership of president Charles Taylor who is now in exile after many innocent soul were killed, My Father was one of the victims killed by the government of Charles Taylor, after accusing him of coup attempt.
I am writing you with tears and sorrow because of the maltreatment which I am receiving from my step mother. She planned to take away all my late father’s treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father. Meanwhile I wanted to travel to Europe, but she hide away my international passport and other valuable documents. Luckily she did not
Presently I am staying in Christ the king Mission here in Burkina Faso. I am seeking for long term relationship and investment assistance. My late father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$ 8.5 Million in one bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I had contacted the Bank to clear the deposit but the Branch Manager told me that being a refugee, my status according to the local law does not authorize me to carry out the operation. However, he advised me to provide a trustee who will stand on my behalf. I had wanted to inform my stepmother but I am afraid that she will not offer me anything after the release of the money.

Therefore, I decide to seek for your help in transferring the money into your bank account while I will relocate to your country and settle down with you… Please reply me with this Email (helenmbogo01@gmail.com ).

Yours sincerely
Helen E Mbogo
