Dear Sister.

I have realy thought of so many things throughout the night while i went to my little house in the camp and i could not control the tears that was coming out from my eyes due to the memory of my family that recalled back to me, we had a family of 4 persons My father MR. OBENG MENSAH, MY MOTHER MRS SUZAN MENSAH, MY BROTHER CHUKS KAMOKAI MENSAH AND MYSELF MERCY MENSAH. My Father was incharge of all the importation of the military weapons in (country 1) legally and that fetch him a lot of money and connections when the war started.

He was given the contract to supply weapons that was used to defend the rebels and they targeted him and kill him.During the war time in my country The rebels came to our building at the hit of the crises and mudered my mother while my father was out of home and they kidnapp my brother and he has not been found till date and we have assumed that he is dead.

After that on the 21st of January 1998, my father was shot by those set of rebels but he escape with the bullet wounds and i was in school that same day, he came to my school and took me home gather our things and we ran down to (country 2) and later died on 13th april 2003 living me alone in the whole wide world to face his enemise and since then i have been recieving so many treatening letters from my Fathers enemies in Liberia since he died and they are planing to come and eliminate me so that they will cliam my fathers property. I am the only surviving person in the family today and my fathers estate in (country 1) has been cliamed by those his enemise.

When we arived to (country 2) he went to the GLOBAL VAULT SECURITY COMPANY LIMITED HERE IN (city in country 2) and make some deposit of his funds and some gold for safe keeping I want you to open the attarched copy of all the documents below and print them, go through it and then see all that i have explianed to you here. I want to live this (country 2) and never to come back and i want to clear out the consignment at the security company so that we can invest it together as soon as i come down to your country. I have never open up to any body about this developement.

When the treat was so much, the barrister ordered the company to move the fund to Asia,but because of some financial promblem that was why The fund is still in (country 2) now.I need your assistance to come out of this country and also assist me to secure the fund out from security company here in (country 2). I will have to live with you and your family for the rest of my life.

I'm not even going to bother to respond. Anything I say will educate the Lad. Shocked
