Subject: AM SO GRATFUL TO YOU.
Hello dear, It is with tears and pains, I write this mail from my sick bed in the hospital. I believe you have never met such a condition before. Am sorry to bother you with my pains of life and vision for the poor. But i can't keep quiet because i have a strong feelings of been a blessing to them.I lost my husband through a poison attack here in Cote d'Ivoire in 2005, before his death He had an investment fund deposited in an account here in Cote D'Ivoire (IVORY COAST). I have been unable to reach or contact any of my late husband's business partner for the transfer of this fund, as i do not have any of there contacts. Based on this i seek your urgent assistance to stand as my late husbands business partner for the transfer of the fund as indicated by the bank here. However, he made a deposit of US $5.700.000.00 (FIVE Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only). I have not told anyone anything about this, and this not a joke, please understand me and help me out. I have passed through a lot of trauma and emotional sufferings since the death of my husband. I don't know why i chose you for this, but i am of the believe that it is God's direction and he never failed me. But if for any reason you find my mail offensive, you can ignore it and please accept my apology. If i find TRUST in you, then i will instruct ADB BANK where this fund is lodged by my late husband, to effect wire transfer of the fund to you as his business partner and i will also want you to assist me with the plans to open an organization for the poor in your country when i come over. I hope you wont disappoint me now and even after my death concerning this funds and the vision for the poor which i will be handling over to you. Please if you are willing to assist me and my little son Moses, indicate your interest in replying soonest.I really need your help in this urgent issue of mine. I will give you 15% of the total amount when the funds is transferred into your bank account, and please keep this transaction to yourself, till the money is transferred into your bank account. I look forward to hear from you soonest. Yours faithfully,MRS. SUSAN LAWSON
