each other in person With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings,

money deposited in a bank here in Ivory Coast by my late husband to your

very wealthy Cocoa/Mineral Resources Merchant in Freetown the Economic Capital
of the Sierra-Leone, my husband was poisoned to death by his business associates
on one of their outings on a business trip. Before the death of myhusband
in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me to his bedside
and told me that he has the sum of US$7.5 Million United States Dollars
(Seven Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars) left in a deposit/suspense account in one of the
prime banks. Hesaid that he used my name as his only wife for the next of
kin in the depositing the fund. He also explained to me that it was because
of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates. That I should
seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer
this money and use it for investment in a viable venture.
Sir, I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways :
To arrange a visit to Abidjan - Ivory Coast so that we present you before
the bank as my late husband's foreign business partner and as well preferred
partner recorgnized by the family to settle our husband's estate.
To make arrangement for me and my sonr to come over to your country to further
his education and to secure Residence permit in your county. Moreover, Sir,
I am willing to offer you 25% of the total sum as compensation for your
effort after the successful transfer of this fund into your nominated account
overseas.
Further more, you indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe
that this transaction could be concluded within seven banking (7) working
days.
I look forward to hearing from you
