Subject: FROM MRS. SUSAN MUSA
PLEASE SAVE MY LIFE.
ATTN: PRESIDENT / CEO,
REQUREST FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION TO SAVE MY LIFE.
Dear Sir/Madam,
31/10/2005,
I greet you in the name of Almighty God.My name is Mrs. Susan Musa. I am a
widow and a mother of three all girls. I know you will
see myletter to you as an embarrassment considering the fact that we do not
know ourselves. I plead with you to be patient with me 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
hardworking businessman who died unfortunately In a ghastly auto crash.
Before the 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 $9.5 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 $9.5million 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
personally so that I will be able to take care of my children's educational
needs 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 the remittance of this fund into
your nominated account.As soon as I get your positive response, I shall
provide you with all the necessary detail for this transfer.However,I have
decided to give you 20% of the total money as a reward for your sincere
assistance and the remaining 80% of the 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 email,your personal details
including your contact information for easy communication.
Mrs.Susan Musa.
