Subject: HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU
Dear Friend, Greetings! For this letter is strictly personal, intimate andconfidential. Forgive this unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular letter is of exceptional and very private in nature. There is absolutely going to be a very great doubt and distrust in your heart in respect of this email, because of the fact that you do not know me before and also coupled with the fact that so many miscreants have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it extremely difficult for person like me to get attention and recognition. There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty to write and reach out to you for urgent assistance as God wishes and pray that I will get the assistance I needed from you. Briefly, I am Rosemary Mbadinuju from Anambra state of Nigeria. My husband died last year and because of the sudden and his unexpected death, my husband people accused me of being responsible for his death and wanted me to swear an oath to affirm my innocence over his death because of this I was taken to a village shrine, I vehemently refused to swear the oath since I am a christian. My refusal did not go down well with them and they sent me packing out of my husband's house with my children empty handed as they took possesion of all my husband's properties. Luckily for me now, the federal ministry of works and housing (FMWH), where my husband worked as a contractor wants to pay me $1.2m only being money they owed to my late husband and they have asked me to come forward to apply for approval of the money for payment to me. My husband people are not aware of this payment So,due to what I am passing through presently in my husband's brothers hand, I do not want to take the risk of investing this money here because they may seize it just as they did to other of my husband's properties they laid their hands on as a result of this, I decided to invest this money abroad to safe guard it and it is because of this situation that I decided to write to you seeking for your assistance to see if I can get any by accepting to help me receive this money on my behalf and after you direct on useful venture I will invest the money on either in your country or company In the event of accepting to assist me, then quickly get back to me so that I can seek for the approval of the money for payment into any bank account you will provide and then after, I will come over to your country for purpose of investing the money. I await for your response God blessMrs Rosemary
