into your account for the family’s safe keep in case I die while in
castration, it is the only Assets and Legacy left for the family. I am
offering you 25% for assisting me secure this money fast before it is
located by the Nigerian Government security Agents. Contact me with my
personal e-mail address so that I can forward to you all necessary details.

husband has suddenly turned against me since my husband died, my son Ibrahim
Sani has been facing series of false charges and accusations,I am totally in
castrated, all our property and funds have been seized,it is only our family
lawyer who has stood by us and remained faithful and loyal since the death
of my husband and it is through him we were able to secure this fund till
date, please kindly contact his chamber in Lagos State, he shall advise you
on how this transaction shall be done with utmost security and guarantee for
all parties, I can’t write much to avoid attracting security attention, my
mail is been sent to you through my third daughter, Rafia. May Allah speak
to your mind and prove Himself Holy and faithful. Allah bless you.
