Dear Friend,
I greet you in the name of our lord. My
name is Mrs. STELLA ALI. 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 wedo
not know ourselves. I plead with you to be patient
withme I feel very pleased to contact you for some
assistance and business relationship. I live in
Nigeria with my children. Mylate husband was a
loving, caring and hard working businessman who died
unfortunately In a ghastly auto crash. Beforethe
sudden death of my beloved husband, and father ofmy
daughters, my late husband intended to establisha
business in the united states of America with thesum
of$15 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 Iam
a woman and my offspring's all girls as I do not ha ve
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 $15 million 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 willbe
able to take care of my children's educationalneeds
since my husband's family members vehemently opposed
the furtherance of their education. According tothe
staff of the bank, the best way to secure thismoney
is to transfer this money to a bank account out side
Nigeria For safe-keeping, later it will be usedfor
business establishment subject to the Adviseof
whosoever finally assists us. At this juncture, I
therefore ask for your sincere assistance in
providing us withyour bank details and the enablement
to facilitate there mittance of this fund into your
nominated account. As soonas I get your positive
response, I shall provide you with allthe necessary
detail for this transfer. However, I have decided to
to give you 30% of the total money as a rewardfor
your sincere assistance and the remaining 70% ofthe
money will be for my investment as I will want to keep
aglow my late husbands dream of investing inreal
estate. To be able to help me, kindly send through my
email, your personal details including yourcontact
information for easy communication. Thanking you for
your anticipated response.
