Subject: urgent reply
Dear friend,
I am Mrs. Kene Jon I am 35 years old widow.
My husband died 11th June, 2004 and left
some amount of money in the bank for me $5.5M due to
I did not have any kids for him and as it is
customary in Africa that any woman who do not have
children for the husband has no right to the husband
properties when he die’s, right now, my husband
brother’s want to disposes me of this money in the
bank but I am the only one that has the documents
and where the money is.
Please, I urgently need your help if you can be
trusted and have the fare of God to save me from
these wicked attempts by my late husband brothers.
I have already contacted a lawyer who advised me to
look for somebody outside the country who is
reliable so as to change the name of the old account
to the person in the bank as the new account owner
for the money to be wired into the person’s account
to abroad, you will assist me to invest this money
in your country and deduct 50% of the total amount
and keep 50% for my investment.
Please I want this to be between two of us and my
lawyer.
I expect your response almost immediately you
receive this message.
Regards,
Mrs. Kene Jon.
