Hello Dear Friend,
Compliment of the day, it rekindled in me a great gratitude to reveal my life secret to you for the sake of my children. As it may interest you to know, I got your contact through a service provider, here in Ghana.
I am Mrs. Senam Walter, my husband died of AIDS victim some months ago, and he took poison and died when the doctor confirmed his test HIV POSITIVE. Just about 4 months ago I fell victim and since then I am not myself any more, the doctor told me that I will not last long; my life is short and if I die today it will be a burden to my children as their father is late.
I plead for your kindness to take my children as yours; I want them to have the best of education as their father had planned for them. Their father mapped out a huge amount of money for them before he died, he gave me the documents covering the box he kept in a security company, he told me that the content of the box is money and the amount involved is US$12 Million, but the security company doesn’t know the content of the box because my husband told them that the content of the box is family belongings.
I am revealing this secret to you for the sake of my children because I want the best for them and I don't want them to suffer here in Africa when I die. 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.
In regard to my condition, I want a good and understanding person, who will take adequate care of my children, as I want them to start life in abroad before I die, which will be any moment from now.
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 Parental Care, then I will release the box to you so that you can use the money to start the process before their arrival in your country.
However, my lawyer obliged that the beneficiary must stand presently to sign the memorandum of understanding regarding my condition because this is a "LIFE HAND-OVER" all must be legally treated.
Please i will sand to you the contact e-mail address of my lawyer,, since he is the person you will be working with directly. We shall discuss your compensation ratio as soon as I hear from you.
I anticipate your quick response, as time is no longer in our hands.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Senam Walter.
