Dear ,
Please i need your assistance. Let me hasten to introduce myself as Mrs
Magret L. Heinrich, I am married to Mr.Lesser Heinrich a German who until
his death was a timber export marchant here in the republic of Togo. It's a
sorrowful thing to say that he died alongside with our only son while on
christmass vacation at Jankata during the Tsunami wave disaster on the 26th
of December 2004. Their body was not found (God knows best).and to him alone
shall all flesh return .
I could not travel with them because i have liver cancer. Before this
sorrowfull event,He deposited his bussiness capital (u.s $18.3 million) with
a bank here in the republic of Togo, with my name as the next of kin. When
the news came to me of the disaster and and it became clear that his body
was among those that could not be found, my sickness became worst due to the
pain and agony of lossing my husband and only son, the doctors here says i
have just six months to live if i did not receive any good medical
attention. I am presently hospitalised here in a local hospital by my late
husbands people who wants to see me dead by all means, they have succeded in
taking all that my late husban left behind for me with the exeption of these
money which they do not know about.Their reason is that i would not survive
the illness.
In view of my condition, and the fact that i do not want to leave this money
behind for my husband people who are not Godly people and are quite
inconsiderate ,Therefore i decided to contact you so that you will assist me
in receiving this money to enable me come over and get a good medical
treatment and also make donations to those that are effected by the Tsunami
disaster. By so doing, i would have succeded in immortalising the names of
my late Husband and my only Son. Therefore, on receipt of your positive
response and your readiness to help handle this fund and properly use it for
the purpose for which it has been designed ,i will give you the contact of
the bank and all the legal documents that would warrant the transfer of the
fund to you.
I guarantee that this attracts no risk at all for it will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. All
I require from you is your honest cooperation and confidentiality to enable
us see this transaction through considerring the fact that we are still
total strangers to each other. Please understand that this massage requires
urgency as my ill-health demands, any delay in your response will give me
room to contact other person,i also want an assurance that you will use this
fund for the purpose i have stated here. Waiting for your response.
God Bless You
MAGRET.
