Subject: Your urgent reply please!!!
Dearest,
I greet you in the name of our GOD.
My name is Mrs. Angelina Ebony Dazza. I am a widow and a
mother of a girl without a male Child.
I know you will see my letter to you as an
embarrassment considering the fact that we do not know
ourselves. I plead with you to be patient with me and
give me audience because I found myself in a situation
that I don’t have any option than to look for a
Foreigner who can help me in this problem I found
myself, so I feel very pleased to contact you for your
assistance and business relationship.
I live in Cote D'Ivoire with my only Daughter. My late
husband was a loving, caring and hardworking
Businessman who deals on OIL AND PETROLEUM BUSINESS
but was killed by hired armed assassins.
Before the sudden death of my beloved husband, and
father of my daughter, my late husband intended to
make an establishment through the assistance of his
FOREIGN PARTNER outside Africa with the sum of
US$15,000,000.00 (FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS) but unfortunately he died before this
proposed venture without even submitting the
particulars of his FOREIGN INVESTOR whom the money was
to be transferred into his account.
Following his death, his family members insisted that
I am not entitled to his property (Assets and money)
since I am a woman and my offspring is only a girl and
I do not have a male child for my late husband
claiming that it is what our tradition entails. Well,
because of this barbaric traditional law in the Tribe
of my Late Husband which doesn't permit a woman to
inherit her Husbands property incase of death if she
has no male child, the relatives of my late Husband
are expected by tradition to take over the management
of his business and other properties.
Unfortunately to these wicked family members of my late
Husband, the US$15,000,000.00 which my late Husband
intended to invest abroad through his FOREIGN PARTNER
was deposited in a bank account unknown to them.
I am requesting for your total assistance to me in
transferring this fund into your account. Then I and
my only daughter will leave this country and come and
meet with you in your country where we wish to stay
for the rest of our lives to enable me take care of my
only daughters educational needs since my late
husband's family members vehemently opposed the
furtherance of her education.
At this juncture, I therefore ask for your sincere
assistance in providing me with your bank details and
the ennoblement to facilitate the remittance of this
money into any of your nominated Bank Account
Particulars.
As soon as I get your positive response, I shall
provide you with all the necessary detail for this
transfer including the documents of the deposit of the
money, which is in my position now.
I have decided to give you 20% of the total money as a
reward for your sincere assistance and 5% for any
miscellaneous expenses that might be incurred in the
transaction while the remaining 75% of the money will
be put into any lucrative investment of your choice
, which of course will be under your Management and
control.
Please for confidentiality and secrecy because at this
moment my only daughters and I is staying in a
guesthouse where we hid for the security of our life.
Kindly contact me through my email
and I will call you when you give me
your telephone contact.
It is important I inform you that my late Husbands
bank has assured me that there will be a smooth
transfer of the money into your account that you will
summit to them, I want you to know that the transaction
is 100% risk free and successful.
Thanking you for your anticipated co-operation and
response urgently.
Remain Blessed.
Yours Respectfully,
Mrs.Angelina Ebony Dazza.
