DEAR BELOVED COMPLIMENT OF THE SEASON/ SAVE MY LIFE AND
CHILDREN PLS.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I greet you in the name of our lord. My name is Mrs. Gina
Bello. I am a widow and a mother of Two all girls. I know
you will see my letter to you as an embarrassment
considering the fact that we do not know ourselves. I plead
with you to be patient with me I feel very pleased to
contact you for some assistance and business relationship. 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 daughters, my
late husband intended to establish a business in the united
states of America with the sum of$30 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
$30million united states dollars which my late husband
intended to use in establishing a business in the United
States was deposited in a bank account unknown to his family
I and the lawyer is 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 nominated account. 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 to give you 30% of the total money as a reward for your
sincere assistance and the remaining 70% of the money will
be for my investment as I will want to keep aglow my late
husbands dream of investing in real estate. To be able to
help me, kindly send through my email, your personal details
including your contact information for easy communication.
Thanking you for your anticipated response.
Mrs. Gina Bello.
