Subject: I greet you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ,
My name is Mrs. Margerate Ayii. I am a widow and a mother of three 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 please to contact you for some assistance and business relationship. I live in Cotonue Benin with my children; my late husband was a
loving, caring and hardworking business man 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 $1.1 one million,one hundred thousand 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 Benin Republic (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 $1.1 million one hundred thousand 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 am the only one aware of this money, so I have
discussed this matter with the bank manager 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 Benin Republic for safekeeping, later it will be use for business establishment subject to the Advise of whosoever finally assists us. Now, I therefore 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 give you 15% of the total money as a reward for your sincere assistance,while 5% will be for any expenses that we might incur in course of the transfer,and the
remaining 80% 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 indicate your interest to assist me,send through my email, your personal details, including your contact information for easy communication. Thanking you for your anticipated response
NOTE: CONTACT ME THROUGH THIS EMAIL ADDRESS
