Dear belove one
I greet you in the name of our lord. My name is Mrs.Pamella Martins. I am a
widow and a mother of Three all girls. I know you will see my letter to you
as an embarrassment considering the fact that wedo not know ourselves. I
plead with you to be patient withme I feel very pleased to contact you for
some assistance and business relationship.
I live in Nigeria with my children. My late husband was a loving, caring and
hard working businessman who died unfortunately In a ghastly auto crash.
Beforethe sudden death of my beloved husband, and father of my daughters, my
late husband intended to establish a business in the united states of
America with the sum of $15 million united states dollars, but unfortunately
he died before this proposed venture.
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's all
girls as I do not have a male child for my husband. Well, according to some
barbaric traditional laws here in Nigeria (Africa) which doesn't permit a
woman to inherit a man's property, as they are expected by tradition to take
over the management of his business and other properties including myself
who automatically becomes a wife to one of his immediate brothers.
Unfortunately to this wicked family members, the $15 million united states
dollars which my late husband intended to use in establishing a business in
the United States was deposited in a bank account unknown to his family.I
and the lawyer is the only one aware of this money,so I have discussed this
matter with a staff of the bank that i want this money personallyso that I
willbe able to take care of my children's educationalneeds since my
husband's family members vehemently opposed the furtherance of their
education.
According to the staff of the bank, the best way to secure this money is to
transfer this money to a bank account outside Nigeria, For safe-keeping,
later it will be used for business establishment subject to the Advise of
whosoever finally assists us.
At this juncture, I therefore ask for your sincere assistance in providing
us with your bank details and the enablement to facilitate there remittance
of this fund into your nominated account. As soonas I get your positive
response, I shall provide you with all the necessary detail for this
transfer.
However, I have decided to to give you 30% of the total money as a reward
for your sincere assistance and the remaining 70% ofthe money will be for my
investment as I will want to keep aglow my late husbands dream of investing
in real estate. To be able to help me,
kindly send through my alternative email,pamezemartins@yahoo.co.uk your
personal details including your contact information for easy communication.
Thanking you for your anticipated response.
Mrs.Pamella Martins
