My late beloved husband deposited a huge amount with Diplomatic Vault for
safe keeping. I got your contact detail from a friend in the neighbour and
have so much in trust in you. All I need from you is an assistance to
transfer the fund that my late husband deposited with the diplomat vault to
your country for investment untill I regain my freedom. I will give you 20%
of the total sum but most of all is that I solicit your trust in this
transaction and will not want you to betray me, and I also want you to know
that is a legitimate transactiong and which is total risk free and we both
will benefit from it. Please all correspondence should be directed to my
private Email: erusilifat@yahoo.com as await your reply soon.
yours sincerely,
