GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU READ THIS MAIL,
I am Lady Victoria Ellen, wife of Late Sir Albert Ellen who died on the 4th
of January 2002 in a
plane crash in Birmingham heading for Bangor, Maine, U.S; you can view this
CNN website
for details on the crash.

I have been sick and bedridden two months after the death of my husband; due
to a terminal
cancer and hypertensive problem. Presently, my speech capacity has been
seriously impaired
and according to medical experts I will not live long since my ailment has
defiled all forms of
medical treatment; so I have decided to accept my fate while dedicating the
rest of my life to
selfless services to humanity.
While alive, my husband made a deposit in my name in the sum of
$2,500.000.00( TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS with
a security
bank and trust company over there in African, Ghana.
Having known my condition I decided to engage the services of a foreigner or
group of foreigners to use this fund in
all sincerity to fund, orphanages, widows and also to set up a foundation
which would be known as " Vick Ellen Trust Fund"
basically for the needy and down trodden.
If you are ready to work in good faith and honestly on this project,
contact my lawyer in Africa (Ghana) through this email:
oforilawchamber@gmail.com he will provide all necessary legal backings
that will make you the beneficiary to the consignment in the security bank
and trust company.
As soon as my lawyer ascertain your willingness and trust he will proceed as
I have instructed him.
There is nothing to worry about as every arrangement has been solidly
perfected.
I am willing to pay 10% for your role as the beneficiary to the funds. Also,
a subsequent 10% "Management Commission
" will be paid for the charity work. So to say you will be entitled to a
total of 20% of the total amount for your kind assistance.
If this is ok by you or not, do well to notify my lawyer through this email
oforilawchamber@gmail.com
Endeavour to contact lawyer rather than keeping him waiting because I have
already told him about my contacting you.
I await your response.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Victoria Ellen.
