Subject: Greetings
Hallo Dear
Greetings from Hong Kong
I am very sorry trying to bother you in this my time of
need. However, I am Mrs. Yakaru Hucheng, the second
wife to Mr chino hucheng, who was the owner of
LIGHTGREEN MARINE CORP. Hong Kong I was married to him
unfortunately I did not born any child for him throughout
our
stay as husband and wife.
My husband died last month after suffering from long time
heart cancer, which suffered him for many years and finally
died last month . He called me and his first wife with his
personal attorney and share some of his wealth to both of
us
as the inheritors of his wealth because his personal doctor
has
told him in advance that hewill not live for the next 5
days.
Immediately the dead of my late husband, the first wife and
the attorney joined together and changed almost all the
documents that I inherited from my husband as my own share
of his wealth to the name of her two sons. Now the one that
makes me to seek assistance and run away from their site is
the
deposit certificate, which was issued to my late husband on
the day
he deposited the sum of 13 million dollars in a security
company in Europe which he gave to me in the presence of
the first wife and his personal attorney, they are now
trying to take away from me the deposit certificate which
is the only document among the documents that was given to
me as my share of his wealth.
Now, I need your help. I want to present your name to the
security company as the beneficiary of this deposited money
so that the security company will release the money to you
and then you will deposit the money in your personal
account there in your country. If you can help me to secure
this money in your custody without any problem, then I will
give you 30 % of the 13 million dollars while you will keep
70
% for me. I have the deposit certificate, which is the only
thing you need for the claiming of the money.
My life is in danger here in Hong Kong; I am hiding because
they
are seriously searching for me just to take away the
deposit
certificate from me. The have alreadytaken away my
international
passport and traveling papers,just to stop me from
traveling to Europe
for the claiming of the money.
After hearing from you, I will give you the contact of the
diplomat who is in charge of the money and also give the
diplomat your contact so that you can contact each other
immediately.
