Att: Director,
Compliments of the day,I am writing to you with much respect and honour to this letter, which must remain private and confidential.I know my proposal will come to you as a surprise since you do not precisely know me.

However,This money is safely kept in a Security Company here in(JOHANNESBURG,SOUTH AFRICA)before my husabnd death under disguise as precious items and nobody has any slight knowledge of what is inside the box deposited with the Security Company.
In other words,there is no risk involved and so do not hesitate to ask questions where necessary,All the documents covering the deposition of the money with the Security Company are intact with me.For more information,please contact my son (GREG) with his private telephone number and email which is + 27 73 375 0110 Email: gfanile@dr.com for more details in this regards and also do provide for us your private phone and fax numbers for security reasons,and for better communication.
