Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?TO=20MY=20DEAREST=20ONE=2C?=
TO MY DEAREST ONE,
I presume this letter will come to you as a suprise,but as things unfold,we
will know each other better and how I got your contact. I am MRS. ZENUB
EL-IDRIS, the wife of Alhaji, the Managing Director and Chief Executive
of Beagon Oil company. I am very sure that you will be of a good assistance
after carefully reading my letter. For many years of marriage now between
me and my husband, I have not given birth to a male child,and this has really
troubled my husband.This is as a result of so much respect attached to local
Tradition Culture and Custom in there community. And now my husband is dead,
In short to be sincere and honest with you,with the present situation of
things now, I am being treaten daily by my husband family to get me out
from the house.
I live in Nigeria with my children. My late husband was a loving, caring
and hardworking businessman who died unfortunately In a ghastly auto crash.
Before the sudden death of my beloved husband, and father of my Two daughters,
my late husband intended to establish a business in the united states of
America and London with the sum of$18.4 million united states dollars, but
unfortunately he died before this proposed venture.
Following his death, his family members insisted that I am not entitled
to his property (Assets and money) since I am a woman and my offspring's
all girls as I do not have a male child for my husband. Well, according
to some barbaric traditional laws here in Nigeria (Africa) which doesn't
permit a woman to inherit a man's property, as they are expected by tradition
to take over the management of his business and other properties including
myself who automatically becomes a wife to one of his immediate brothers.
Unfortunately to this wicked family members, the $18.4million united states
dollars which my late husband intended to use in establishing a business
in the United States or london was deposited in a bank account unknown to
his family. I and the lawyer are the only one aware of this money, so I
have discussed this matter with a staff of the bank that i want this money
personally so that I will be able to take care of my children's educational
needs since my husband's family members vehemently opposed the furtherance
of their education. According to the staff of the bank, the best way to
secure this money is to transfer this money to a bank account outside Nigeria
For safe-keeping, later it will be used for business establishment subject
to the Advise of whosoever finally assists us. At this juncture, I there
fore ask for your sincere assistance in providing us with your bank details
and the
enablement to facilitate the remittance of this fund into your nominatedaccount.
As soon as I get your positive response, I shall provide you with all the
necessary detail for this transfer. However, I have decided to give you
25% of the total money as a reward for your sincere assistance and the 65%
of the money will be for my investment while 5% of the money will be mapped
aside for local and international expenses as I will want to keep aglow
my late husbands dream of investing in real estate or any lucrative business
that you may want us to invest the money into in your country. Please i
need your urgent assistance because my husband family are tring to take
all which i and my husbnad has labourd for and throw me out of the house,
please don't let this happen to me come and save me out of this truouble
and i will be forever be geatfull to you. To be sincere and honest with
you,this money is never connected with drugs,money laundry,firearms and
looting,which I beleive might put fears in you and consequently withdrawing
your help for security reasons.
Thanking you for your anticipated response.
MRS. ZENUB EL-IDRIS
