Dearest
After going through your profile it pleases me to contact you and to
inform you of my desire to go into business with you .
My name is Madam Marisa Mayor . A complete citizen of the
Philippines,widow to the late Mr Desmond Mayor who died of ulcer and
he has been buried.
I inherited a total sum of 6.8 million dollars, Six Point Eight million
dollars from my late husband, this money which is concealed in a metallic
trunk box is deposited with a security in London U.K. Due to the
instruction he laid down before he deposited the box, that he needed
maximum security/safety of my consignment and no body nor government
organization can trace where about of the box until were ready and
prepare to claim it.
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.
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 threats, 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 Lodon U.K., 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 my late husband 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 family, 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 not comfortable on where
i am now.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear
from you soon, mmayor@ymail.com.
All the best,
Madam Marisa Mayor
