Dear Friend,
I presume that we have not met neither have we
communicated before. Firstly, my name is Mrs. LINDA
ONU, I am the wife of late MICHAEL ONU. My late
husband MICHAEL ONU who was a business tycoon based
here in Nigeria was also the chairman Executive Hills
Hotels died last month at the age of 46 after a brief
illness at Eko Hospital here in Nigeria.
Could you believe that the tradition and customs of
the town and state where my late husband came from
demands that any woman who does not have a male child
for the husband, that when ever the husband dies, all
the properties belonging to the late husband
including cash will be shared among the late husband
brothers and the woman will be sent out her husband
house for good.
My dear, this is exactly what I am going through right
now since last month my husband died. My late husband
brothers has taken all the properties belonging to my
late husband including bank accounts and as well sent
me and my little daughters out of my husband house
just because I do not have a male child for my late
husband. This is a wicked tradition and culture that
has no moral value. As am talking to you now, I and
my two daughters are going through hell at the moment.
Right now, I am having in my position all the vital
documents relating to the sum of $9.5 million dollars
which my late husband deposited with a bank here with
my name as the next of kin before his death. Last week
I contacted the manager of our bank and I was told
that the money is very much intact, that I can as well
come for it any time I feel like.
Please remember that I cannot make use of this fund
here due to forces surrounding me at the moment. Please
have mercy at the poor widow like me and help me out
of this mess. All I want you to do for me is to
assist me transfer this fund into your account
immediately before my late husband brothers will have
knowledge of it and claim it just like the way they
did to others. I strongly believe that the only way I
can secure this money for myself is to act fast now
and transfer this money overseas, which is the main
reason why I am contacting you for your assistance.
Please note that, as soon as this fund is transferred
into your account, you will stand the chance to have
20% percent of the total fund while 80% percent will
remain for me so that I can be able to take care of my
two kids my late husband left behind for me. Remember
that my children are the only happiness I have here on
earth and I cannot stand to watch go through such
pains.
I look forward to hearing from you immediately via
mrs_onu@zensearch.com so that I can direct you
what next to do for us to commence
the transfer immediately.
Sincerely,
MRS LINDA ONU.
