Subject: Dear Friend,
Mrs. Maria
CAN I TRUST YOU TO ASSIST ME.?
Dear Friend,
I am the above named person from Africa but a Citizen of UNITED STATE OF AMERICA, now under going medical treatment in London, England. I am married to Mr. Arman A. Woods who holds Woods International Fisheries under the United State High Commission in Africa for over a decade before he died on 5th of January 2007. We were married for fifteen years. He died after a brief illness that lasted for three weeks.
Before his death he made a vow to establish his Fishing Company over the country for the down trodden and the less privileged in the Africa society. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home due to our tradition.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $10 Million (Ten Million United State Dollar) in a Vault with a central bank In Africa, presently this money is still there. But i am undergoing treatment in London, England due to Heart Cancer and the Company has been close and sold due to lack of management last Month. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 26 days due to cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my Illness, Having known my condition I decided to contact you or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money and assist me. As soon as I receive your reply through my late Husband Personal Attorney in Africa private E-mail Address: ( ) stating the below information, He will give you the contact of the Paying Bank. I want you to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation.
Whosoever that wants to serve the Almighty must serve him with all his heart and mind and soul and also in truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for an individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act according to his specification herein. I would be glad if you could send the following informations to my late Husband Personal Attorney in Africa BARRISTER.GANI MARTINS ( );
(1) Full Names, (2) Residential Address,(3)Phone number,(4)Occupation(5)Age and(6) country.
And send the information to my late Husband Personal Attorney Email:
( ), and note that as soon as he receive your email he will send you the Deposit Certificate and Death Certificate of my Late Husband for your record And also file an application to the bank with your informations for the process of this transaction. Note that this transaction is 100% Legal and Real
Thank you and May the Almighty bless you. Hope to hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Maria Woods
