I would have told my step mum to assist me in collecting the funds from the bank but she is not a good woman, my Dad warned me about her before he died, now that I live with her I now understand that what my Dad said about her was true, because she don’t give me attention she don’t care if I am alright or not, all she do is to take hard drugs and bring different men to the house. I don’t want to have anything to do with her. If I get her involved in this she will use all the funds to take hard drugs.  All I wish for right now is someone old enough and honest to help me collect my funds from the bank as I am still a teenage and it is against the UK law.  Why I can't wait until i am 18 years is because what my step mum is doing to me is not fair and i don't want her to Influence me with her bad life style i just wan't to live so i can live a better life.
I know we don’t know each other but please I need your help if you can assist me to collect the funds from the bank I will give you 50% out of the funds, Then you will help me invest my 50% until I am 18 and I will be staying with you or you will get somewhere for me to stay until I am 18 years old.
If you agree to help me, I will send you a copy of the Will and my pictures so you will know me, and I will send you the contact of the Bank and tell you how much is the funds so you can contact them, and I will inform the bank that you will contact them that you are the person that want to help me.

Her stepmother actually sounds like a lot of fun. Still, let it not be said that I would turn down the pleas of a child in trouble:

Dear Barbara,
Your story moves me. How may I help?

Fortunately, little Barbara had the wherewithal to provide details and jpg's post-haste:

   In addition to that 50 million, little Barbara also inherited her dad's way with spelling, syntax and grammar. And as for those photos -- she certainly seems in good health for a kid who's living in a crack den. It was up to me to give her some fatherly advice:

Well, the will and certificate are certainly all the proof I need that this is on the level. But I'm confused. Those pictures are from a stock photo site, fotosearch.com. Certainly you're making enough money as a model to carry you over until you're 18, aren't you?

If not, please get in touch.

She must have realized the truth in what I was saying -- I never heard from her again.
