Dear Sir/Madam
I salute you in the name of the most High! My name is Mrs.Linda David Ameeraly. I am a widow and a mother of two girls. We do not know each other and I'm wondering how you will view this letter. Please, accept my sincere apology. Sorry, about taking your time as well. I will be highly obliged if you can assist me in this business. My Husband is an Egyptian while I am a Ghanian. My late husband, David Ameeraly, was a loving, caring and
hardworking businessman. Prior to his death by plane crash, he was living with us in Accra, Ghana. He died November, 1st 1990. This sad event occured during one of his business trips to the US. Please, find below the website for more information. If you go through this publication critically, you will find my husband's name, David Ameeraly amongst others that lost their life on that fateful day as published by British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)

Before the sudden death of my beloved husband, he planned to establish a business in Europe with the sum of US$8.5M (Eight Million, five hundred thousand US dollars only). Unfortunately, he died before this venture could materialise. Following his death, his family members insisted that I am not entitled to his properties (assets and money). Since I am a woman and my offsprings are all girls coupled with the fact that I do not have a male child, I was put under terrible pressure to stay clear from my legitimate husband estates. According to their family culture/traditional believe, a woman is not allowed to run late husband
business and worst of all, I was asked to move into David's younger brother's household as one of his wives. My problem started when I refused to be inherited by David's younger brother. Fortunately, the proposed investment fund (US$8.5M ) which was deposited with the investment/security company was unknown to the family. As such, they did not ask for this. If not, it would have been a problem as there would have been nothing to fall back on. It's only our lawyer & my humble self that know of this fund. I have discussed this matter with the Finance company were the fund was lodged. This is the asset I have left and I need part of this money for my daughters school fees and to maintain my personal life as well. David's family was vehemently against my daughters education. All they intend doing, was to give them out for marriage at a tender age. According to the staff of the finance company, the best way to secure this money
is to transfer this money into an alternative bank account for safe-keeping. Later it will be used for business investment which is subject to the advise of whoever that will be assisting us finally. For obvious reasons, I do not want the finance company's involvement. This transaction must be handled under strict confidentiality. At this juncture, I thought it wise to solicit your indispensable assistance to receiving this fund on my behalf. I do not have knowledge of funds management & business in general. I was a full-time house wife. Therefore, this step depends on your trust-worthiness & ability to handle funds of this magnitude. All that is required of you, is to forward to me by email, your direct phone, fax, address or any other information you may deem helpful. I need the requested information for the purpose of securing the relevant documents in your name as my confidante/bonafide beneficiary. Please, note that this transaction is legitimate and 100% hitch-free.
We will not violate any known law of my country and that of yours. So, be rest-assured.
However, as soon as I receive your positive response to the above business transaction, I shall provide you with necessary transfer details. Note also, that you must convince me of your trust-worthiness and ability to keep secret secret. I have decided to compensate you with 30% of the total money as a reward for your sincere assistance and the remaining 70% will be used to pursue my late husband's investment dream in real estate. In the event that you are less than 18yrs of age and you receive this message in error, please, disregard and destroy the copy without circulation. Thanking you for your anticipated response as I look forward to hearing from.
I remain,
Sincerely yours,
my private email address:ameeralylinda@yahoo.co.uk
