Subject: Dearest One,
Dearest One,My name is Mrs. Regina M Robortson. I am married to late Dr. Robortson Maldon Simon. We were married for twenty years with a child (Bright). My husband died in the year October 2005 after an illness that lasted for four days. When my late husband was alive we deposited the sumof $4Million (Four Million U.S. Dollars) with one of the good banks here in Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire and this money is still with the bank. Recently my Doctor said that i would not last for the next three months due to my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition i decided to safeguard this fund into a private account for investment purposes and donate part to charity. Meanwhile, i am contacting you to utilize this money the way i am going to instruct here in. You will donate 30% to cahrity, 25% for you and 5% for any expenses you may incur in this transaction and 40% will be for my son Bright to have a better life. I and my late husband decide to use some of the money to work for God and live some for Bright to have better live. Bright is just 17years old now and been grow up in Africa, he have low manterity. My late husband relatives are very wicked and they want my family hard earned money to be misused. They havecollected many of my late husband’s properties both car and houses and sold them off without caring for i or my son. Please i do not want my family hard earned money to be misused. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death but my only problem is my son. I want some one who will take good care of him in the event of my death. As soon as I hear from you, I shall give you the contact of the Finance/bank where my late husband made this deposit. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me because the lord is my strength. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here. Please I want your telephone communication in this regard because of my health and due to the presence of my family relatives around me always.
