Dear Friend,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you, l want you to help me out in securing this fund (u.s $9.9million
dollars) into your norminated bank account and in your custody for safe
keeping and you know that you can keep secrity, be trusted and hope on,
pending my arrival in your country as l will like to invest in
muilt-national company 0r any profitable business venture.
It all started after the sudden death of my husband.I have been thrown into
a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by late husband
family members I have been subjected to physicaland psychological torture by
them. Unfortunately to these wicked family members, do not know that my late
husband deposited money with a Finance House unknown to his family member.
I am a widow and a mother of two (2). According to some barbaric
traditional laws here in (Africa) which does not permit a woman to inherit a
man's property, as they are expected by tradition. For this reason l want to
settle down with my kids in YOUR COUNTRY, as i am very sure that you will be
of a good assistance that is the more reason why i have contact you for you
are to stnad as my late husbnad relative to the fund.
Though this said fund accumulated between the periods 1986-2003, which
belongs to my late husband as he died of Heart Attack Now the management of
the bank have just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive
the money, So I have discussed this matter with the Finance House manager
manager that i want this money personally so that I will be able to take
care of my children educational needs. According to the Finance House
manager, the best way to secure this money is to look for who would assist
me in the transfering this money outside my country For safe-keeping, later
l can then use it for business establishment that is why l need you.
l want you to stand and recieve this funs on our behalf, and more reason is
due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result
of past Military rules. As he deposited the fund pending when he would
finish arrangement to transfer it abroad for an investment befor his death.
For ever since then i and my fatherless kids hardly eat as we do have
anybody other than GOD till you came into my life, so give back life and
future to us as we hope on you.
To be sincere and honest with you, this money is never connected with drugs,
money laundry, firearms and looting, which I believe might make you
skeptical and consequently withdrawing your help for security reasons. I
would like to recieve your contact details so that we can discuss business.
However, I have agreed to compensate you with $1,700,000.00 of the total
amount as your share for the assistance and co-operation, while % 900,000.00
is to offset and settle any expenses you may incurred ( Even up to settling
telephone bills etc) on the cost of transferring this fund into your
norminated bank account all together $2,600,000.00 you shall invest the rest
of my balance $7,300.000.00 on my behalf till l arrive.
I shall provide you with all the necessary / vital documents that will put
you in position as a beneficiary to this fund, I wait to hear from you and
if your not interested kindly let me knowso that l can search for someone
else. Reply Back to: for more of my family details in regards to this
transaction,It is profit oriented and 100% risk free Please honesty is the
watch word in this transaction.
My regards to you.
Mrs. Hajia A.Mariam
