Subject: PLS GET BACK TO ME
Dear friend,
I greet you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. My name is Madam sonia
willam I am a widow and a mother of two sons. 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 BENIN REP OF COTONOU
with my children. My late husband was a loving,caring and hard working businessman
who died unfortunately In a ghastly auto
crash.Before the sudden death of my beloved husband, and father of my
sons, my late husband intended to establish a business in
the united states of America with the sum of$17 usd 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 are kids as I do not have a grown child
my husband. Well, according to some barbaric traditional laws here in COTONOU(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 $17 usd,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
in BENIN 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 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 20% of the total money as
a reward for your sincere assistance and the remaining 80% of the
money will be for my investment in your country under your care 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 .

Madam sonia willam and children
Thanks you
Best Regards
