From;Mrs Wumi Abdul .
Phillipine.
Dear Respected One,
My name is Madam Wumi Abdul. A complete citizen
of the Philippines,widow to the late former minister
of finance in Philippine who died on 15th of May 2002.
My husband fell sick and he was flown to France for
treatment but later died of ulcer and he has been
buried.
I inherited a total sum of 18.5 million dollars from
my late husband, this money which is concealed in a
metallic trunk box is deposited with a security and
finance company here in Philippine.
Due to the instruction I laid down before I deposited
the box, that I needed maximum security/safety of my
consignment and no body nor government organization
can trace the where about of the box until I am ready
and prepare to claim it.
for this reason the security company used their
diplomatic means to send the box out of Philippines to
Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire where they have their
underground secrete vault.
This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a
family treasure.
This means that the security company does not know the
content of this trunk box that was sent from the
Philippine to Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire under a
diplomatic coverage for safe keeping.
My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of
the way I found you and perhaps trustworthy to give
you this priority of shipping the box of money to any
address that you think is very secure and save in your
country with your percentage of which we shall chat on
soon.
In fact, since the death of my husband, his brothers
has been seriously chasing me around with constant
treats, trying to suppress me so that they might have
the documents of his landed properties and confiscate
them.
They have successfully collected all his properties,
yet they never stopped there, they told me to
surrender all bank account of my late husband,which I
did, but I never disclose to them this deposit with
the security company in
Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire, because this is where my
future and destiny lies upon.
The family of my late husband never aware of the
secret existence of this deposit which I made with the
security company and they can never be aware of it Out
of fear of my late husbands family, and when the
situation becomes uncontrollable because of pressure
on me from the overnment of the Philippines,I decide
to look for a trustworthy person who could assist me
retrieve this box of money from the security company
for onward lodgement into his account for the purpose
of future investment.
Consider my situation as a widow and come to my rescue
please i beg of you with all honesty.
There is need for urgent action because I'm paying $50
dollars per day as a demurrage to the security company
for safe keeping this consignment and i must be very
frank with you that i am running out of the available
fund now.
N/B I have already paid for safe keeping charges,so
you do not have to bother about this fee,upon your
acceptance i will trust you and issue you with deposit
reference code for you to call the security company.
I will appreciate you immensely for your co-operation
as I look forward to hearing from you soon. for quick
prcessing and conclusion of this business
transaction,this is really counting upon you for the
success of this ransaction.
I have discussed with the security company and they
have agreed to dispatch this onsignment to you in your
country by diplomatic courier services mission as part
of thier shippment services to clients worldwide.
Please contact me urgently upon your acceptance so
that we can discuss how to go about this transaction
speedily and accomplished it. Thanking you in
anticipation of your very kind and humane gesture and
looking forward to hearing considerably from you,this
wishing you all the best and God blessings.
Thanks and kind regards,
Madam Wumi Abdul.
