Subject: Dear ,
Dear,
Good day, I know this letter will definitely comes to you as a suprise.It
is with tears and pains that I write this mail from my sick bed in a
hospital. I believe you have never met such a condition before. My name is
Mrs.Odinne Peter, widow to late Mr.Peter Avea, former owner of T.PETERS AND
GAS Company, here in Benin Republic . I am 58 years old, suffering from long
time cancer of the breast. From all indications my condition is really
deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than some months
according to my doctor. This is because the cancer has gotten to a very bad
stage which has destroyed all my immune systems. As it is, I prefer dieing
than keep on suffering in this condition. I don't want your pity me anyway,
but I need your trust.
My late husband died in December 2003 in a plane crash in Benin , (please
check, http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html)
and during the period of our marriage we couldn't produce any child. My late
husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business
and wealth. Months after while I was still suffering from my sickness and
mourning my husband, his wicked family greedily forcefully collected
everything from me telling me that I was not able to bear a child, so there
late brothers wealth is for them. The only thing I kept from them is this
very deposit left in the finance firm vault.
The doctor has advised me that I will not live for more than some months, so
I have now decided to spread this money, to contribute mainly to the
development of charity in Africa, America , Asia and Europe , instead of
leaving it for people who wants me dead at all cost.
I am convince that you will be capable of handling this task, this is why I
have decided to contact you, but if for any reason you find this mail
offensive, you can ignore it and please accept my apology. before my late
husband died he was a major oil tycoon, in Benin and other African
countries. He deposited the sum of US$6,000,000.00 (Six Million Dollars
Only) with a finance firm, which I kept the papers in a safe place.
That's all I have left now, I need your help to collect this funds and
distribute it yourself to charity homes.
I am doing this so that when I die my soul will rest in peace. The funds
will be entirely in yours hands and management hope God gives you the wisdom
to touch very many lives that are my main concern and wish. Therefore if you
are interested, urgently get back to me so that I will give you more
informations and how the funds shall be successfuly transfer to you.
May God bless you and your family.
Mrs Odinne Peter,
