Dear Sir,

With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to
Contact you. I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am

him.
You can verify this from some of the international newspapers posted in the
web sites below:

Before my late husband was killed, the above figure was allocated to his
office for importation of agricultural machinery; this money was move to
oversea under a diplomatic means and deposited waiting the conclusion of the
arrangements with the final enquiry from the company before he was murdered.

do. My reason for contacting you is because the Security Company where the
fund is deposited has issued me a Notice to claim the Consignment or have
the box onfiscated. I kindly seek your consent to present you as my late
husband Associate /beneficiary to the security company to claim and secured
the fund and invest into a profitable venture in your country for the family

the Security Company, Contact me immediately so that I can forward to you
all necessary details.

Trusting to hear from you.
Have a nice day.
Mrs.Suzana Vaye (Widow).
