Dear Sir,
I apologise if this mail message does not suit your personal or business ethics.I write with sincerity to seek your cooperation and assistance.
I am writing from the hospital with my laptop and would need no telephone conversation to this effect because of my health problem.
I am Mrs Maria Sara from Philipine married to Late Mr.Mohamed Akin who worked with Philipine Embassy in Cotonuo. Before his death in 2005 we were married for eleven years without a child.
However,being a christian I took a personal decision not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. Meanwhile when my late husband was alive he deposited ( Fifteen Million US Dollars) in Global Security Company within the border of Cotonou/Nigeria .
He deposited the fund as family treasure but did not declare the real content of the deposit to the security company, rather he deposited it as gold bars as for security reasons .
My intentions was to clear the fund from the security company at the middle of last year for investment outside the country.
But unfortunately i develop a heart problem,as my condition is not getting better anymore I have decided to look for a foreigner who can invest this fund the way I am going to instruct herein.
All I want is a reliable and God fearing Man or Woman that will invest this fund the way iam going to insruct him.First i would want you to assure me that you would handle this project degilently as i would recommend.
Having said this i would need the following informations from you .
1)Your full name and address.
2)Your marrital status
3)Your occupation/Profession
As soon as I receive your reply, I shall contact a lawyer who would clear the fund from the security company as i have all the document to the deposit.The lawyer would also assist in shipping the fund to your destinated address for the purpose of investment in your country.
Note i would want the fund deliver to you by international diplomatic means to save time due to my condition.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.
Hoping to receive your immediate response. And please do not forget to pray for me.
Wishing you a prosperous new Year.
I remain yours sincerely.
Mrs Maria Sara Akin
