It is my great pleasure get intouch with you this great minute. My name is
Mrs S.russell and I am married to Late Dr S. Russell
who died last three months. I saw your contact in one of my late
husband's files. And contacting you is concerning
the unfinished company project which my late husband was about
establishing in your country before his death.
However, my late husband has a partner in your country in person of Mr
Smith H Aron who advise my husband to establsh
a company in your country and after my late husband's trip to your country
where he attended a business meeting with Mr
Smith H Aron and other business partners of theirs, they decided to go to
Seria leon to visit their Lawyer but unfortunately
they were intercepted and mudered by the Rebels. And since the death of my
husband, my inlaws has seized all my late
husband's properties and Bank Accounts theirby making it difficult for me
to feed my children or send them to school.
So right now, there is this money (USD45.5 Million) deposited in one of
the Security Companies by my late husband which
he had wanted to transfer to your country for onward establishment of the
Company which non of my inlaws know about it
and I have also found out from the Security Company that my late husband
only gave them a Standing Order to transfer
the money to your country in three weeks time with intention of advising
them of the Bank Account and Name Of
Beneficiay where to paying the money in your country as soon as the
agreemeent is signed with Mr Smith H Aron and
others, but he was unable to conclude the arrangemen before his death.
And since I have nothing to lay my hands on to feed my children and send
them to school after the seizure of all my
husband's fortune/properties by husband's family, I will like to present
you to the Security Company as the beneficiary/the
person whom my late husband had wanted to transfer the money to in your
country so that the Security Company can
transfered this money to your Account and then we share it together.
Further to this as a matter of importance, please note that the Security
Company has already advise me to send them the
Name and Bank Account of the Beneficiary in your Country whom they will
send the money to.
PLEASE NOTE: that this transaction is absolutely risk free will last only
three working days before conclusion and as soon
as I hear from you, I shall like to discuss your compensation with you so
as to enable you know what will be your share
before as soon as the money is being transfered to you.
