Subject: Dear Respected one,
Dear Respected one,
My name is Madam Villaran. Nenita. A complete citizen of the
Philippines, widow to the late former minister of finance in Philippine who died
on 15th of May 2002.My husband fell sick and he was flown to France for
treatment but later died of ulcer and he has been buried.
I inherited a total sum of 3.5 million dollars from my late husband;
this money which is concealed in a metallic trunk box is deposited with a
security and finance company here in Ivory coast. Due to the
instruction I laid down before I deposited the box,
that I needed maximum security/safety of my consignment and nobody nor
government organization can trace the where about of the box until I am
ready and prepare to claim it. for this reason the security company
used their diplomatic means to send the box out of Philippines to
Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire where they have their underground secrete vault.
This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a family treasure.
This means that the security company does not know the content of this
trunk box that was sent from the Philippine to Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire
under a diplomatic coverage for safe keeping.
My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of the way I found
you and perhaps trustworthy to give you this priority of shipping the
box of money to any address that you think is very secure and save in
your country with your percentage of which we shall chat on soon.
In fact, since the death of my husband, his brothers has been seriously
chasing me around with constant treats, trying to suppress me so that
they might have the documents of his landed properties and confiscate
them. They have successfully collected all his properties,
yet they never stopped there, they told me to surrender all bank
account of my late husband, which I did, but I never disclose to them this
deposit with the security company in Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire, because
this is where my future and destiny lies upon.
The family of my late husband never aware of the secret existence of
this deposit which I made with the security company 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 on me from 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 for
onward
lodgement into his account for the purpose of future investment.
Consider my situation as a widow and come to my rescue.There is need for
urgent action because I'm paying $50 dollars per day as a demurrage to the
security company for safe keeping this consignment.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear
from you soon.
PLEASE DO CONTACT ME THROUGHT MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS (

All the best,
Madam Villaran. Nenita.
