Subject: Greetings To You and Your Lovely Family
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 Age:
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
