In The Country. As A Widow That Is So Traumatized, I
Have Lost Confidence With Anybody Within The Country. You Must Have Heard
Over The Media Reports And The Internet On The Recovery Of Various Huge Sums
Of Money Deposited By My Husband In Different Security Firms Abroad, Some
Companies Willingly Give Up Their Secrets And Disclosed Our Money
Confidently Lodged There Or Many Out Rightly Blackmailed Us. In Fact The
Total Sum Discovered By The Government So Far Is In The Tune Of

The Sum Of $28.6million Dollars, Whose Name Is Withheld For Now Until We
Open Communication, I Shall Be Grateful If You Could Assist In Transferring
This Fund Into Your Account For Safe Keeping.
