YOUR ATTENTION REQUESTED
Excuse me for writing you this letter even though l have not known or met you before, but l took it upon myself to contact you believing that you must be a trustworthy and reliable person that will not like to intimidate me or betray my trust after hearing this news.
l am a native of Sinko in the Monrovia Local District of Angola in West Africa region and the wife of late Andrew Luis lwujigi, who died about Eight months now. My Husband was an officer that served in the Country Military before he died and due to the civil war in my country we were force us to resided in Accra Ghana.
As the wife of late Andrew L. lwuji, l and my family wish to let you know that we inherited my late husband's wealth of valued the sum of US$6,000,000,00 (Six Million U.S. Dollars). He got this money during his service days in the military as he was appointed the officer in charge of the welfare of the AFRC forces.
Under a diplomatic connections, the monies were possibly brought down from Angola to Ghana and was deposited to the care of a financial security company for safe keeping with the help of his friend in the security company.
My husband's intention was to open an bank account in Switzerland and further transfer the money into the account for foreign investments, but later declined from this intention as he felled ill which later deteriorated and eventually lead to his death.
However, l was just contacted by a friend of my husband (in the security company) advising me to move the money out of Ghana to a foreign account due to the uncertain political crisess that constantly arose here due to upcoming election.
Now , my problem is to negotiate with a foreign partner who will be reliable and honest that l can confide my trust upon, of my intention to transfer these monies out from here as soon as possible and that is my reason of contacting you since l do not want to lay hand to this money here neither would l like to involve any local person in this affair, because it is private and most important my country Angola is fighting war and l do not want to lay hands to this money until I concluded all arrangement with a foreign partner to move this money to overseas .
Please my reason of contacting you is to request for your assistance and cooperation to help us move this money out to a foreign country.
Note that the modalities of this transaction is subject to negotiation between us and we have agreed to give out US$500.000.00 Dollars to you for assisting my family finalize this transaction.
To prove my sincerity, l will like you to visit Angola (west Africa) to see things for yourself, because seeing is believing and also to bear in mind that my husband was never accused in any form of embezzlement by our country’s government or any government/ person, but made this money during his service days in the Military.
Be rest assure that there is no risk of any sorts behind this money as the money is just as mine, just that l do not want to spend it here in Africa.
Please do contact me for more directives on the modalities to move this money out from here as soon as you receive this email.
Finally, Please should keep this matter confidential and remember the urgency this email requires while l expects to hear from you.
Thanks and while l expects to hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
Laura lwuji
