Greetings To You and Your Lovely Family
I am Mrs. Sarah Adams Johnson from Ivory Coast. I was married to Late Cheif
Adams Johnson who was a contractor with the government of Cote D'Ivoire
before his death. When my late husband was alive he deposited some amount of
money with a security company here in my country.He deposited the sum of
$8.7Million USD.He deposited this money as a family valuable,He made this
money
through his years as a Contractor.I have been sick since after the Death of
My
Husband and have been in and out of Hospital on several Occations as Just
Yesterday our family doctor told me that it is very likely i will die within
the
next 1 months due to A Blood cancer {Leukamia}.
What Pains me the More and makes me suffer this emotional Stress and added
to
my sickness is my only Son that i am going to leave behind.It makes me feel a
great pain that i am leaving him to die at his tender age.I have decided to
donate the money that my late husband left for me to you.I Want Part of the
money to Go to you and the other part of the money to take care of my Son for
me.
I inherited a total sum of $8.7Million dollars from my late husband, this
money which is concealed in a metallic trunk box is deposited with a security
and finance company here in Cote D' Ivoire Due to the instruction he laid
down before he deposited the box, that he needed maximum security/safety of
the
consignment and no body nor government organization can trace where about of
the
box until we are ready and prepared 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.
Because of my bad health and fear,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.I want you to come and claim the
box
as the money was parkaged in a box so that the security company will not know
the content of the box.
But if you can not come,All I need from you is your urgent reply with your
complete information as stated below. Your Full names:Your Residential
Address:
Your phone/Fax numbers:

Your Occupation:
Your current Email Address:
As soon as I receive this from you it will enable me go ahead and inform the
security company to ship the money to your contact address and to change the
ownership in your name and get it transfered to you for the project .
Be informed that this is all about TRUST and believing that it will be safe
in
your hand.
I will also plead to you to always pray for me because only God heals.
God bless you.
Mrs Sarah Johnson
Widow
