Dear Friend,
After going through your profile it has pleased me to contact you and to inform you of my desire to go into business with you. My name is Mrs. Nel Olive. A complete citizen of the Philippines,widow to the late Mr. Alphonsus Olive who died on 15th of May 2002. My husband died of ulcer and he has been buried.
I inherited a total sum of 12.3 million dollars from my late husband, this money which is concealed in a metallic trunk box and deposited with a security and vault company in Europe. Due to the instruction he laid down before he deposited the box, that he needed maximum security/safety of my consignment and no body nor government
organization can trace where about of the box until were ready and
prepare to claim it.
This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as family treasures and valuables. In other words, the management of the security company does not know the true content of this trunk box.
My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of the way I found you, out of inspiration while doing my research on any trusted worthy and honest individual or organization through a foreign mission guest book. I want you to help me and my remaining family to go to Europe, clear the consignment for our both benefit. I will require your assistance for a letter of Invitation and also some money for me and my two children to meet you up when you must have cleared it.
In fact, since the death of my husband, his brothers has been seriously chasing me around with constant treats, trying to suppress me so that they might have the documents of his landed properties and confiscate them. They have successfully collected all his properties, yet they never stopped there, they told me to surrender all bank account of my late husband,which I did, but I never disclosed to them this deposit with the security company in Europe, because this is where my future and destiny lies upon.
The family of my late husband are never aware of the secret existence of this deposit which my late husband made with the security company and they can never be aware of it, this is reason why i implore yo to keep this to yourself even if you are not going to help me.
Out of fear of my late husbands family, and when the situation became
uncontrollable because of pressure on me from the family, I decided to look for a trustworthy person who could assist me retrieve this box consignment from the security company for onward lodgement into his account for the purpose of future investment, hence i contacted you.
Consider my situation as a widow and come to my rescue.
Note, there is need for urgent action because the consignment has stayed way very long so that the management don't confiscate it.
I give thanks immensely in anticipation for your co-operation as I look forward to hear from you soon,reply to my personl email address (nel_olive@juno.com)
All the best,
Nel Olive
