Subject: Good day my dear,
Good day my dear, How you are today and how is your family, hope every body
is fine? If so thanks to God Almighty. I know that this mail might come as a surprise to you but
all the same, I want you to read it and please give
adequate attention to it immediately and hacking to the
voice of a dieing widow. May I introduce my humble self to you; I am Mrs. Susan
Bijur Smith from London United Kingdom the wife of late
Mr. Clement Bijur Smith who happened to be the chairman of
Texaco Oil Company in UK from 2001 till 2005 when he died
of an auto accident. It all happened on the 13th day of June 2005 when my late
husband was travelling for a board meeting scheduled with
his board of directors in Wales here in UK when he had a
fatal accident on his way to the meeting. Four days before he died on the 17th day of August 2005
after spending closely two months in the Hospital, he
called me on his seek bed and narrated to me that he
deposited the total sum of 15million pounds in an Escrow
account in a Bank named CITI BANK LONDON. He also told me where he kept the files, which contains
all the vital information he used in depositing the money
in the Escrow account of the said Bank CITI BANK LONDON. After my late husband's funeral rights, I felt sick a
month later and was rushed to the hospital, the doctor
told me that I have the Cancer of the lungs and made it
known to me that the Cancer has eating up my lungs and
from there I started receiving treatments immediately. I was at the hospitl all those while and when I was
discharged from the hospital, I came back home 2 weeks ago
only to find out that my late husband's elder brother has
taking position of everything my husband left as a legacy
to me and my only son. Before my husband died, he advised me on how I should
transfer this money to any account of my choice when ever
I am ready for that, he told me to contact an old friend
of him who happened to be a retired World Bank Officer to
help me in executing this project but the matter turned
worse when I heard that the man who is supposed to help me
died in February this very year 2008 when I was still at
the hospital. Please my dear, all I need from you now is to kindly help
me in securing this money from the Bank in my orders as I
cannot do It my self because of my health situation and to
make sure that my late husband's elder brother who has
turn out to be a thorn in my flesh will not know anything
about it because that money is the only legacy left to my
reach since the death of my late husband. It is vital that we have to hire an attorney who will help
us in sending an application letter to the Bank for the
release of the money to you as the next of kin to my
family in my orders as I will draft an authorization
letter on that since I am Undergoing a critical situation
for my days has been numbered because from my last medical
checkups some days back, my doctor made it known to me
that I have less than one months to live on the planet
earth and that has been my main reasons of contacting you
at the first place. Please you have to come to the aid of a dieing Widow by
helping me in securing the money out of the Bank to your
Private Bank account in your country after which you will
help me in investing some part of the money with the name
Of my only son (JOHN) in your country to enable him
purchase a good living in your country. Please you have to help me in this for I will be very
happy even in my grave if this should be the only thing I
could achieve for my only son (JOHN) before I die for I am
not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know
that I am going to be i n the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14
vs14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall
hold my peace. I will be waiting for your swift kind response today. Thanks and may God bless you and your family Amen. Mrs. Susan Smith
