Subject: Our Hope
Dear,
Blessing to you. I am making this contact based on trust, faithfulness and hope irrespective of the fact that we have not met or had an earlier communication before. My contacting you is as a result of my present predicament which am about to introduce to you, I want to remain positive that you will hear me out and understand my desire not only to help my family put see the fulfillment of my late husband's dream.
I am Mrs Cecille Yahya Ali, wife of the late Abdulkadir Yahya Ali a Human and Peace activist, a co-founder of the Centre for Research and Dialogue (CRD) in Somali who was murdered in my present by the Islamist groups on the 11 July 2005. Though I have forgiven those behind it, I can never forget that fateful day, it has being the darkest day of my life and I usually don't want to talk about it. To know more about my pains you can read the following news preview.

After The death of my husband, The government promised to help me and my children which they did, but not for long, a year later, the Islamist Court union through their Army took our the city and burnt our possessions and house and we had no option but to flee to Kenya where we have being living till now. Life in Kenya has being very tough for us as we no longer receive government support and all my husband's friend abandoned us due to the increasing insecurity and attack in Somali now. My children had to stop school as they was no money for their school fees.
Before the death of my late husband, we were planning to build a MEDICAL CENTER in Somali to care mainly for children and women, and also a HIV AWARENESS AND RESEARCH CENTER. My husband through his international contact, requested for funding and receive the sum of Four Million Six hundred and Fifty thousand Dollars which because of the instability and insecurity then had to deposit it in a neighboring Africa country.
After his death and our fleeing to Kenya, I was not able to go the Bank for the withdrawer of the fund as I lost the entire vital document, and I was not able to get the contact of his attorney there. Last week as God will have it, like a miracle, I decided to check my email box which I have not for a long time, and saw a message from my husband attorney asking me to contact him which I did and He said He had copy of the deposit certificate and that we can apply for the release of the fund. The only problem now which is why am contacting you, Because My husband didn't want the government to be after the money, He registered the fund in co-beneficiary with a foreign partner, so for me to withdraw and make use of the fund, I have to present the foreign beneficiary as stated by my late husband, this is the reason why I have contacted you. I want you to stand as the foreign partner and assist me in transferring this fund to your
country. Once the fund as being transferred, I and my children with your help and the help of the attorney, shall come to your country where my children shall continue their education.
For your assistance, I shall give you 20% of the fund, 5% will be used for all expenses that may be incurable, 20% of the fund shall be donated to various charity group, and hospital, while I shall use the remaining balance of the money for an investment in your country for the future of my children. If you will help me, and can maintain the very confidentiality of this letter, kindly e-mail me immediately with your full name, a little about yourself for security and trust purpose, and send me your phone number to enable the attorney to contact you direct with further details. Kindly know that the situation in my country now is out of hand, my hope of returning with my children is no more. You will be saving my life and that of my children by accepting to help us, forgive my English error as am not so perfect in English grammar
Best Regards
Mrs Cecille Yahya Ali
