Dear Friend,
I presume that we have not met neither have we communicated before.
Firstly, my name is Mrs. LINDA ONU, I am the wife of late MICHAEL ONU.
My
late husband MICHAEL ONU who was a business tycoon based in Cape Verde
Republic was also the chairman Executive Hills Oil Merchant died last
month at the age of 46 after a brief illness at Merits Hospital here in
Nigeria.
Could you believe that the tradition and customs of the town and state
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's 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 mylate husband including 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 $9.5 million dollars which my late husband deposited with
a bank here with my name as the next of kin before his death. Last week
I contacted the manager of our bank and I was told that the money 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 here due to forces
surrounding me at the moment. 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 into your account 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 for myself is to act fast now and transfer this money
overseas, which is the main reason why I am contacting you for your
assistance.
Please note that, as soon as this fund is transferred into your
account, 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
go through such pains.
I look forward to hearing from you immediately so that I can direct you
what next to do for us to commence the transfer immediately.I will also
like some money to go to the poor people.Please make sure that you
direct your reply to {mrslindaonu_234@yahoo.com} This is for security
reasons.
Sincerely,
MRS LINDA ONU.
