Subject: FOR THE SAKE OF MY CHILDREN
Good Day,
I know it will sound total rejection, scare and
unbelieveable,owing largely to the atrocities people commit
these days.
But this mail comes from a devastated, sorrowful and
emotional ladened soul that needs compassion from a kind
and good spirited person to wipe away my tears, perhaps
when i am gone beyond this sinful world.
As an international subject,therefore,with due respect and
apology, I want you to handle it very discreetly,
confidentially and with utmost secrecy.For the sake of my
children, who are the cardinal focus of this mail, for
their future survival and to avoid embarrassment, I do not
want our family name to be advertised or publicly
discussed. Please, treat it as such and keep it permanently
private.
If you would not be in the position to co-operate, please,
forgive me for disturbing your peace. Ignore and delete
this message. I plead in the name of God.My purpose of
writing to you is to seek your assistance to handle and
manage my late husband's financial assets and take adequate
care of our young children,seth,12years and Ann, 9years.
They are both studying in the American International
School, Accra,Ghana. My name is Mrs. Delia Roberts. I am
an American from Detroit Michigan, a widow of circumstance,
married to a Swedish Engineer who resided here in
Cotonou,Benin Republic with me before his untimely death.
My husband died in plane crash while going to diagnose and
seek medical attention for a sickness that defied medical
treatment. Presently, I am diagnosed to
have a third degree HIV virus and therefore suffering a
terminal sickness of ACQURIED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROMME
AIDS-. I may die any moment but wish you to assist in
keeping the family name and circle alive. This mail was
written for me by the matron
of this hospital and sent through my email address as I am
too weak to engage in any other physical endeavours. I have
entrusted the sum of US$28,500,000.00 (twenty eight Million
five hundred thousand us Dollars), the
accrued savings and life insurance gratuity of my late
husband, with the custody of Royal Security & Finance Trust
Company here in
Cotonou,the Republic of Benin. Be informed that this
company and the lawyer does not know that the box I
deposited with the Royal Security & Finance Trust Company
contained raw cash. I only told them that it was personal
belongings. It is handled by a Lawyer. See contacts below.
I want you to liase with the Lawyer and transfer the money
to your account for your prudent care, management and safe
keeping. Use it to secure travelling papers for my children
to leave Accra, Ghana and
train them as your adopted children.
I place no conditions on your management except taking good
care of my children. I am not fearful of death but I am
seriously worried about the safety and future survival of
my two children. (Contact):

At the moment and till I die, my correspondence with you
will be through e-mail. I may not have the opportunity to
speak with you while on my sick bed. You should contact the
Lawyer to do the change of ownership from my name into your
name and identity to enable you collect the money from the
Finance and Trust Company here in Cotonou, the Republic
of Benin. This is the only condition that will give you the
right of ownership and full beneficiary status. I want this
transaction to be handled with dispatch before I give up
the ghost.
I will appreciate it the more if you give me your reply no
matter your state of mind, negatively or positively, it is
alright.
Please,call my lawyer
Thanks and God bless.
Mrs. Delia Roberts.

Cotonou,Republic of Benin
