Good Day Dear,
I am confidentially relating to you alone with the belief that you will respond to me with great trust and honesty with a view to help me urgently. I am however safe to inform you that I am Mrs. Rebecca Sharka, the wife of late Major General Rufus Sharka, the C.E.O Gulflink Oil Export company Ltd. He was killed recently by Islamic extremist for an allegation that my husband revealed secret information’s of IRAQ rebels activities to the UNITED STATES.
I am very sure, 100% sure my husband is innocent of all crimes and allegations imposed on him by the head of the Militants. He was given no chance to defend himself to the whole world and they killed him unjustly. I am so troubled and my spirit refuses to be at rest. The quick need for contacting you is because my husband has been killed
unjustly and I am sure if we do not act fast, the leader of the Militant must come for our wealth and Millions of American Dollars will be seized. My husband has a one time made deposit in his private vault with a security and finance firm in the year 2001 which that I have all the documents for the claims.
I want you to help me in receiving this fund for investment purposes in your country and for safe keeping and also assist I and family to come over to your country immediately you receive the fund in your bank account for our sharing and investments. We only need an honest, trustworthy and highly confidential person who will stand in for the claims and transfer.
I agreed to offer 30% of the total fund to you, so that you can help us with 100% effort to move out this fund and for investments in your country. We have also set aside 5% for the expenses we may incure during the course of transfer. I want that you contact me as soon as possible so that we can conclude everything.
I await your positive response.
