Good day,

I am writing to you because I need you to save the life of my
granddaughter and to help me secure the remaining of my family's life
savings kept by my late husband outside Ukraine. As you know, our
country has been in an endless war for a long time. I lost my husband,
children and sisters to this war. All I have left is my granddaughter.

I have also lost all money and properties my husband and I acquired
over the years, except the money I mentioned above. As I am old and
weak, I want you to help me receive this savings and use it to take
care of my granddaughter when she arrives in your country. The money
is enough to last her a lifetime even after you may have received your
percentage for all the assistance you shall render to us.

I really need your help to get her out of Ukraine to your country and
enable her to have a good future. I anxiously await your quick and

Please reply only to my private email: [email protected]

kind reply.

Mrs. Sofia Aleksander
