Subject: DISTRESS CALL. EMAIL ME NOW
Dear Sir,
I know you will be surprise to receive this message from me. Please do not be offended because an unknown person is writing you.
I am under pressure and distress, this is a distress call for you to assist me else I die. I am Mrs. Clara Taylor, a citizen of the United States of America. I have lived in California for 39 years with my husband before he relocated to Moscow-Russia to start a company. He worked as an oil merchant in Russia for 5 years and all of a sudden, death came and took him away.
Because of the laws in Russia, he was unable to safe part of his funds in a corporate account because he was doing business with the oil minister in Russia and the Minister never wanted anyone else to know they were doing business together. Because of this, he decided to stock his funds with a Diplomatic Company in Russia and when I visited him last two years, we went to the company together and he introduced me as his Next of Kin to the company.
After his death on the 22nd of June last year, I traveled to Russia to claim the funds he deposited with the company. Everything went well and successful and the company was able to move the funds through a diplomatic means to New York-USA so I now decided to get back to USA when they told me they have safely arrived.One thing is sure that the company diplomatic officials are not even aware what the two boxes contained so they left the consignment with A diplomatic Office attached to the Russian Embassy in USA until I arrive to pick my consignment.
On my way home, I got to the airport in Russia and to my greatest surprise; I was arrested by the Police. They said I moved funds out of their country and since then, I have been in a house arrest. The case has been on and I have 3 lawyers working for me here for my release. Now they need money to facilitate my release before March ending but there is no money. I am writing you to seek your assistance only if you can be trusted. If you can be trusted, I will give you detailed information of the consignment containing the $10.5M is New York and they will deliver the consignment to you and you will open it and send to my lawyer $50,000 from the consignment to enable them facilitate my release.
All I need is to know where I can get you on arrival. I am sending this mail to you because I have no relative. My husband picked me up from an orphanage home and since then, we have lived as a single family having no one around us. My arrest was a petition written by my husband’s assistant saying that he was not settled before he my husband died.
If I can trust you, please email me immediately so that I can give you the details needed to get the consignment released. Also I will need to talk to you on phone here in Russia since I am given access to telephone and email 5 hours every day. If you are sure you can get me out of this mess, please email me directly to this most private address: clarataylor@o2.pl
I am waiting to hearing from you now.
Regards,
Mrs. Clara Taylor
