Subject: Dear Partner,
Dear Partner,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics. I sincerely ask for forgiveness for i know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is my option of communication.
This note might seem strange or probably untrue considering the amount of junk mails we receive daily, but i believe this is still the most genuine way of contacting a true character.
I will introduce myself as Mrs. Willimas Kelly. I am married to Dr.Kazeem Wilimas Kelly who was working with the secretary general of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries "OPEC". He has worked with this organization for nine years before he died in the
year 2003, as a result of one of our son's brutal murder in Saudi Arabia by unknown gun men. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided never to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which my culture is against.
However, the most painful and annoying part of it is that my husband's relatives has been on my neck. They said I was behind my husband death which is never true. They sent me packing and threw me out of my matrimonial home which I have suffered for with my late husband for so many
years. I have nowhere to go to, so I decided to go back to my motherland to stay with my family in SAO TOME ISLAND via offshore Africa in South Atlantic Ocean to get myself organized and carter for my children.
Before my husband died, he made me to understand that he deposited the sum of $52 million (Fifty Two Million U.S. Dollars) with a finance house in oversea. We have interest in Stocks,Tourism,Hotels,Agriculture etc.Please, I hereby request for
your urgent assistance to help my family in investing the money as a partnership investment with your company or any investment that both of us will benefit from it. Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the finance house in oversea. I don’t want my husband’s
relatives to know about this development.
Please tell me in confidence, can you handle it? Can you invest this huge amount of money successfully on behalf of my family? Please advise most urgently.
In a short time, I will arrange a meeting with you and my eldest son who will accompany you to the security company where the investment fund was deposited by his late father for easy claim and quick transfer.Though he is in Europe at the moment.
My Eldest son will be assisting me to facilitate this transaction and both of you will make arrangements to have this funds claimed and transfer into your account.
I will issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund with other related documents if you are ready to work with us.
Upon your acceptance of this offer,we shall discuss about your share in this transaction.

Yours in Sincerely,
Mrs. Willimas Kelly
