(£16. 680. 000. 00) in a security company as a family items for security reasons, here in Accra Ghana the nearest country west African because as a civil servant he cannot keep this funds in his private account in our country.I am therefore soliciting for a help. I want you to help me receive the funds oversea for investment purposes. my late father signed a contract bond which stated that he will claim these boxes with his foreign partner abroad but unfortunately; we lost his partner in the last London after a brief illness, may his soul rest in perfect peace.
That is the more reason why I need your help because our proposed partner is dead and the company has given us the authority to appoint someone who will stand and receive the boxes, all the deposit documents which my late father usedto deposit the boxes in the security company is with us here in Ghana . I promised to will offer 35% for your help and any expenses inured. (Both as miscellaneous and accrued expenses).
I pray that the good god almighty through his infinite mercy will continue to bless you more abundantly. Please do reply me if you accept my proposal, I will be waiting to be hearing from you soonest.
