Subject: From Mrs G.Lucas
Dear Friend,
Compliment of the season,
MY Name is Mrs.G.Lucas from philippine. My husband was in the cabinet
of formal President, Joseph Estrada before he was poision and died.
I inherited a total sum of 23,million dollars from my late husband, this money wcarefully packed in a metallic trunk box and was deposited with a security and finance company in Ivory coast.
Due to the instruction we laid down before we deposited the box,that we needed maximum Security and safety of the consignment .This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as my late husband's family valuables.This means that the security company does not know the content of this trunk box as money as it was registered as his family valuables in my name as the next of kin and beneficiary.
My main purpose of sending you this letter is because of the way I found you and perhaps i am looking for a trustworthy person who shall help me claim and retrive the trunk box in your name and have it delivered at your address there in your country by the security company.
In fact, since the death of my husband i have been feeding from hand to
mount.His brothers and other relatives has been seriously suppressing me with constant treats and humiliation so that they might have the documents of his landed properties and confiscate them.
They have successfully collected all his properties even to the extent that i surrendered all bank account of my late husband but I never disclose to them this deposit with the security company in Abidajan Ivory Coast because this is where my future and destiny is it is the only thing i have from all my late husband left behind for me.
My husband's family does not know about the deposit certificate as it is with me and i carefully kept it for them not to see it and they can never be aware of it.
Out of fear of my late husbands family and when the situation becomes uncontrollable because of pressure and humiliation on me from my late husnband's relatives and the Government of the Philippines,I decide to look for a trustworthy person who could assist me retrieve this box of money from the security company there in Abidjan Ivory Coast for onward delivery at his or her address there in his or her country to be used for futurte investment into any profitable business.
Consider my situation as a widow and come to my rescue. I will send you the Deposit Certificate for your prove once you indicate your interest to help me out of this urgely situation and the contact information of the security company there in Ivory Coast for you to contact them directly for your possible claim of the trunk box in your name as the new beneficiary and next of kin.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear
from you soon for quick conclusion of this transaction.
Mrs G.Lucas
