Subject: WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSE
I AM CONTACTING YOU WITH ALL DUE RESPECT SIR AND NEVER YOU ENTERTAIN ANY
FEAR IN THIS TRANSACTION, FOR THIS IS REAL AND GENUINE. ALL I NEED IS
HONESTY AND YOUR CAPABILITY TO HANDLE MY FAMILY FUND AND INVEST IT JOINTLY
IN YOUR COUNTRY WITH MY FAMILY.
Dear Beloved One,
Your first reaction to this mail will be total rejection, scare and may be
unbelief, owing largely to the trocities people commit these days on the
internet. But this mail comes from a devastated sorrowful and emotional
ladened soul that needs compassion from a kind and good spirited person to
wipe away my tears, perhaps when I am gone beyond this sinful world by
investing jointly as partners in your country.
I am Mrs. Magret H.B. Kazeem . I am the above named person. I am married to
Dr. Idris Kazeem Barker who was formerly an assistant to the secretary
general of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries "OPEC". He has
worked with this organization for nine years before he died in the year
2002, as result of our only son brutal murder in Saudi Arabia by an unknown
gun men. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since
his death I decided never to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial
home which my culture is gainst.
However, the most painful and annoying part of it is that my husband's
relatives has been on my neck. They said I was behind my husband death which
is never true. They sent me packing and threw me out of my matrimonial home
which I have suffered for with my late husband for so many years. I have
nowhere to go to, so I decide to go back to my mother land to stay with my
family to get myself organised and careter for my children.
Before husband died, He made me to understand that he deposited the sum of
$32 Million (Thirty two Million U.S. Dollars) when he was still the
secretary of OPEC with a finance house in Oversea. Please Sir, I hereby
request for your urgent assistance to help my family in investing the monies
as a partnership investment with your company or any investment that both of
us will benefit from it. Presently, this money is still under the safe
keeping of the finance house in Oversea. I dont want my husbands relatives
to know about this development.
Please tell me in confidence, can you handle it? Can you invest this huge
amount of money successfully onbehalf of my family? Have you ever handle
such amount of money before? How old are you? Please advise most urgently.
In a short while, My Eldest Daughter and Son who are studying in europe will
meet with you in the finance house office in Europe where the investment
fund is deposited by their late father for easy claim and quick transfer. My
Eldest Daughter and Son will assisting me to facilitate this transaction and
both of you will make arrangements to have this funds transferred through a
nominated joint account which you will both open for the money transfer. You
will need to meet with both of them as soon as possible.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply, I will
issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-
beneficiary of this fund with other related documents. Also, I will forward
to you my personal information for recognition and trust before you proceed
contact with the Finance house in Oversea, So that they will contact you as
the beneficiary of this fund before going their with my daughter to claim
the fund /transfering the fund into your nominated Bank Account in your
country.
