Dear Sir/Madam,
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. Maria Benhassk, the wife of
late Mr. Rikmal Benhassk, a renowned oil merchant. He was killed recently by
Islamic extremist for allegations that my late husband revealed secret
information of Iraq rebels activities to the United States. I am very sure,
100% sure my husband was 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. Therefore, as a result, I
am deeply 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. About ($32,000.000.00),
thirty two million dollars my husband has in his private vault has been
successfully deposited with a security and finance firm. I want you to help
me in receiving this fund for investment purposes in your country.
However, for the smooth success of this transfer of the investment project
money overseas, for safekeeping and good investments, even an empty account
could serve for this purpose. I also want to know from you if the law of
your country protects the rights of a foreigner? because, after the
transfer, I will come over to your country to meet with you for sharing and
investment projects. Please i only need a good, honest, trustworthy and
highly confidential person who will stand as the beneficiary of this money.
I agreed to offer 25% of the total sum to you, so that you can help us with
100% effort to arrange for a good offshore bank account for easy money
transfer. I have also set aside 5% for the expenses we may have incurred
during the transfer. I want you to contact me as soon as possible by sending
your (private telephone and fax number) for easy communication and full
details of your account number and bank address through my private email
address:-

Thanks and may God bless you and your family.

Mrs. Maria Benhassk.
On behalf of Benhassk family.
