Dear Friend,
I presume that we have not met neither have we communicated before.Firstly, my name is Mrs Temmy Diallo, I am the wife of late Baba Diallo.My late husband Baba Diallo who was a business tycoon based here in Dakar Senegal was also the chairman Executive Hills Hotels died last month at the age of 46 after a brief illness.
Could you believe that the tradition and customs of the town and region where my late husband came from demands that any woman who does not have a male child for the husband, that when ever the husband dies, all the properties belonging to the late late husband including cash will be shared among the late husband brothers and the woman will be sent out her husband house for good.
My dear, this is exactly what I am going through right now since last month my husband died. My late husband brothers has taken all the properties belonging to my late husband including bank accounts and as well sent me and my little daughters out of my husband house just because I do not have a male child for my late husband. This is a wicked tradition and culture that has no moral value. As am taliking to you now, I and my two daughters are going through hell at the moment.
Right now, I am having in my possition all the vital documents relating to the sum of $9.5 million dollars which my late husband deposited with a bank here with my name as the next of kin before his death. Last week I contacted the manager of our bank and I was told that the money is very much intact, that I can as well come for it any time I feel like. Please remember that I cannot make use of this fund here due to forces surounding me at the moment.
Please have mercy at the poor widow like me and help me out of this mess. All I want you to do for me is to asssist me transfer this fund into your account immdiately before my late husband brothers will have knowledge of it and claim it just like the way they did to others. I strongly believe that the only way I can secure this money for myself is to act fast now and transfer this money overseas, that is the main reason why I am contacting you for your assistance.
Please note that, as soon as this fund is transfered into your account, you will stand the chance to have 20% percent of the total fund while 80% percent will remain for me so that I can be able to take care of my two kids my late husband left behind for me. Remember that my children are the only happiness I have here on earth and I cannot stand to watch them go through such pains.
I look forward to hearing from you immediately so that I can direct you what next to do for us to commence the transfer immediately.
Sincerely,
MRS Temmy Diallo.
