Dear friend,
Dont be amazed for this serious story you are about to read. Firstly i dont want you to read it as an ordinary story but read it and think about it. My name is Mrs. Clara Amodu, a wife to late Minister of Agricuture (Mr. Johnson Amodu) well dont be confused how i got your contact.
Recently my late husband was assasinated by some group of rebel due to his radical opposition to corruption on how the funds of the nation been spent and embezzled. my late husband use to be a successful businessman who before he was appointed as a minister, he had accummulated a lots of wealth and properties for himself and his family. from my husband good character and his atitude to contribute to well being of his people, he was murdered.
After his death, he was criticized for been looted the ministry funds and this cause me and my children to lost some valuable value of his properties to the Government, before my husband's death he told to me that he has some money in foreign account in security company which i cannot disclose the name to you now because of security reason, he told me to keep it secret not untill his lawyer tender his will to me, being his next of kin. the actuall amount is $30,000,000 (thirty million u.s. dollars). now i am scared of loosing this money to the bad government of my country.
Being a widow, i will like to transfer this money out of the security company and invest in a foreign land which i think yours will be a nice place for me to realize my dream. so i have decided to give 20% of this money as your own share, and invest the remaining one in your country, as u partner with me.
I wouldnt want you to feel sorry for me but react fast on how you are going to help out in getting this money out of the security company and invest it.

Mrs. Clara Amodu.
