Date: Wed, 17 May 2006 12:59:51 +0000
Subject: URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED FROM YOU.
Dear Friend,
I warm-heartedly make this contact with you on a positive note
Anticipating your kind consideration and co-operation,and plead for your
time and understanding in this.
Firstly, my name is Mrs DORRIS OWUSU, I am the wife of late MICHAEL
OWUSU.My late husband MICHAEL OWUSU who was a very successful business
tycoon based here in Ghana was a Gold minner and also the chairman Executive
MICHROYAL HOTEL, C.E.O OWUSU HOLDINGS and a host of other companies died
last month at the age of 56 years after a briefillness at Kolebu Teaching
Hospital here in Ghana.
In our world today,such a manner of approach may not be acceptable or very
suspicious, as we do not know each other and have not had any sort of
communication in the past, but I urge you to take my email very seriously,
considering the situation.
Could you believe that the tradition and customs of the town and village
where my late husband came from demands that any woman who does not have a
male child for the husband, that when ever the husband dies, all the
properties belonging to the late husband including cash will be shared among
the late husband brothers and the woman will be sent out of her husband
house for good.
My dear, this is exactly what I am going through right now since last
month my husband died.
My late husband brothers has taken all the properties belonging to my
late husband including companies, bank accounts and as well sent me and my
little daughters out of my husband house just because I do not have a male
child for my late husband. This is a wicked tradition and culture that has
no moral value.
As am talking to you now, I and my two daughters are going through hell
at the moment.
Right now, I am having in my position all the vital documents relating to
the sum of $4.5 million dollars and 120kgs of Gold which my late husband
deposited with a Storage company here in Ghana as a family treasure with my
name as the next of kin before his death. Last week I contacted the manager
of the Storage company and I was told that the consignment is very much
intact,that I can as well come for it any time I feel like. Please remember
that I cannot make use of this fund and this Gold here due to forces
surrounding me at the moment, I am regarded as a treat to my husband brother
and they have threatened to kill me.
Please have mercy at the poor widow like me and help me out of this mess.
All I want you to do for me is to assist me transfer this fund and this
Gold to your country immediately before my late husband brothers will have
knowledge of it and claim it just like the way they did to others.
I strongly believe that the only way I can secure this money and this
gold for myself is to act fast now and transfer this money and this Gold
overseas,that is the main reason why I am contacting you for your
assistance.
Please note that, as soon as this fund and this Gold is transferred to
your country,you will stand the chance to have 20% percent of the total fund
while 80% percent will remain for me so that I can be able to take care of
my two kids my late husband left behind for me.
Remember that my children are the only happiness I have here on earth and
I cannot stand to watch them go through such pains. You will be greatly
rewarded and be entitled to a percentage of the proceeds from the any
investments for rendering me this most needed assistance.
I look forward to hearing from you immediately so that I can direct you
what next to do for us to commence the Transaction.
Sincerely,
MRS DORRIS OWUSU.
