Subject: Good Day From Mrs. NENTIA
Nentia . Frimpong [Mrs.]
HOUSE 4, C CLOSE, MANET ESTATES,
ACCRA-GHANA
E-mail: nentia_nentia@yahoo.com
Hello Dear,
I got your contact from a business directory in the office of my family
doctor and I was simply inspired and motivated to reveal my life secret
to you.
My names are Mrs. NENTIA .FRIMPONG, and I am living with AIDS. Ever since
my husband, Hon. PETER FRIMPONG, the former managing director of Goldfield
Mining Company LTD. died of AIDS and I was tested positive of the AIDS virus,
my late husband?s family relations wouldn?t just let me and my family be.
My children have stopped going to school because they could no longer stand
the humiliations from fellow students. The embarrassments are getting on
my nerves but what can I do? I would have loved to travel out of the country
to a place where I will have peace and spend the rest of my life with my
children but I couldn?t make it for I am weak and severely sick.
Moreover, no Embassy would grant me Visa to her country with my hairs withering
and boils all over my body. From all indications, I know that my days are
numbered. In the light of the above, I have contacted you to assist me to
transfer out of Ghana the SUM OF $12 MILLION U.S DOLLARS which my late husband
deposited as [DIAMOND/GOLD] with a safety company for the up-keep of my
children, and safe-keep it for my children as they will be coming over to
your country in due course to live and school.
According to tradition and culture in our community, if a man dies all his
properties and wealth will be shared among his family relations and nothing
will be left for the children, as they are persuading me to move out from
our matrimonial home so that they can sell the house, and because of that
my husband gave this document to me without any one's concept except his
lawyer whose signature appears in the documents. YOU WILL INVEST THIS MONEY
FOR MY CHILDREN IN COMMERCIAL ESTATE OR ANY BUSINESS OF YOUR CHOICE YOUDEEM HEALTHY.
Please if you will assure me that you will handle my children as yours by
given them Good education, Open bank account for each of them and give them
Parental Care, then I will release the funds to you so that you can use
the money to start the process before their arrival in your country.
For your effort, I am prepared to give you 30% of the total funds. I am
looking forward to hearing from you while thanking you for your anticipated
cooperation in this regard.
Please reply through my personal e-mail: nentia_nentia@yahoo.com
Kind Regards,
Nenita Frimpong [Mrs.]
