Subject: HELLO
Email Address: mhajiya@fastermail.com
Hello,
Following the sudden death of my husband,I have been
subjected
to physical and psychological torture by the security agents in the
country. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have
lost confidence
with anybody within the country. You must have heard
over the media
reports
and the internet on the recovery of various huge
sums of moneydeposited
by my husband in different security firms abroad,
some companies
willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our
money confidently
lodged there and many outright blackmail. In fact
the total sum
discovered by the Government so far is in the tune
of
$700Milliondollars.
And they are not relenting to make me poor for life.
I got
your
contacts through my personal research,and out of
desperation decided to
reach
you through this medium.I will give you! more
information as to this
regard as soon as you reply. I repose great confidence in you hence my
approach
to you due to security network placed on my day to
day affairs I cannot
afford to visit the embassy so that is why I decided
to contact you
and I hope you will not betray my confidence in you.
I was Lucky to
have
deposited the sum of $28.6million Dollars, whose
name is witheld for
now until we open communication, I shall be grateful
if you could
assist
in
transfering this fund into your account for safe
keeping.
This arrangement is known to you and my Son alone,
So he will
deal
directly with you as security is up my whole being.I
am seriously
considering to settle down abroad in a friendly
atmosphere like yours
as
soon as this fund get into your account so that I
can start all over
again if only you wish, just help me in Transfering
this fund into
your account which will accrue you 30% of this fund.
Please honesty is
the
watch word in this transaction. I will require your
telephone and fax
numbers so that we can commence communication
immediately and I will
give you a more detailed picture of things. In case
you dont accept
please do not let me out to the security as I am
giving you this
information in total trust and confidence. I will
greatly appreciate
if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please
endeavour to reply me
via my confidential email address of :
mhajiya@fastermail.com
Please expedite action.
Sincerely yours,
Dr Mrs Hajia Mariam.
