Dear Friend,
Good day and God bless you.
I am writing this letter in confidence believing that if it is the wish
of God for you to help me and my family, God almighty will bless and
reward you aboundantly and you would never regreat this.
I am a widow with two children,a boy(Samuel)and a girl(Anita). I
am 35 yrs old from Senegal in Africa. I'd like any person who can be caring, loving and home
oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to
know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you
in time coming if you can be able to help me in this transaction.
Well, my husband died earlier two months ago and left I and my two kids behind. He was a Civil Engineer,and has worked with M.C.C(Monier Construction Company) over sixteen
years before his death.
I was his lovely wife and I am the only person who can take care of
his wealth now because my children are still young
to know all their father's wealth. He left the sum of
USD 4,200, 000.00 dollars (four Million, two hundred
Thousand US Dollars)in a security company.This money was part of the money he saved as while working with M.C.C and contract undertaken from other companies like Shell petroleum development company(spdc)
I don't know how and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in
abroad, so that my husband's kindred will not take over what belongs to
my family, which they were planning to do without my
present because I am a woman as stated by their so called culture in the town.
Now, I urgently need your humble assistance to move this money from the
security company to your bank account and I strongly believe that by
the grace of God, you will help me invest this money wisely.
I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you help us in this
transaction and another 10% interest of Annual After Income to you, for
handling this transaction for us, which you will strongly have absolute
control over.
If you can handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me
in lifting this fund, kindly reach me.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to
commence the transaction as quick as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Stella Kwame(Mrs.)
