I seek your help to play role of my family foreign friend and partner to secure funds left behind by my late father for our future and venture into business with you in your country on completion. this mail is intended to explain to you how i require your help and assistance for the success of this business. The funds that i need to transfer is a total of Eighteen Million United states dollars My father when he made this deposit prior to his death informed them that it will be transferred to his foreign partners country when he or his next of kin directs them, and thereafter he told me all about this, and directed me to seek the help of a reliable foreign partner that will assist us in future in case he was not available.
