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 distressed and this is a
distress call for you to assist me else I die. I am
Mrs. Barbara Smith, 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 at their
diplomatic baggage Office in JF Kenndy Airport New York.
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 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
instruct my lawyer to issue an autorisation letter on my
behalf for the release and deliver the consignment to your
home address then you will open it, with the code number
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 give access to
telephone and email.
I am waiting to hearing from you now.
Regards,
Mrs. Mrs Barbara Smith
