Subject: plz help me and my son

greetings

I know this is not the right place for me to contact you on business
such as this but due to the condition I found myself now.

I'm Mrs. ROSE Garba Obanga wife to late Dr. Arnoldoa Garba Obanga a
former president Zimbabwe Farmers Association in Zimbabwe, MeKUto Town
Community Leader (Traditional Chief) and also C.E.O Obanga Group of
Companies Harare before he was killed by Government Soldiers after he
was wrongfully accused of financially supporting the Movement for
Democratic Change (N.D.C) Party of which the M.D.C party Chairman
Morgan Tsvangirai happen to be a cousin to my late husband.

However, before the death of my husband, he deposited
US$6,000,000 Million with Bank of Ghana. Of which my son is the next of kin.
Since my son is yet to attain the 24 years of age which is the age
limit for my son to take full control and execute the Will, I deem it
necessary to contact you if you can be a BENEFICIARY nominated by my
son to help clear the cash from the bank.

Presently, We are now living in Ghana, as political asylum seekers in
Budubram Refugees Camp,. After the death of my husband all of his
properties were seized and account frozen. For your efforts, I will
offer you 15% of the total fund, note that this transaction is 100%
risk-free and the major thing I demand from you is to assure me the
safety of this fund when it finally gets to you.

If you are willing to assist, kindly mail me back immediately. Upon
your
response if you like i can send you the picture during time my late
husband was about to move the money to the Bank. please if you read on
your reply do send me your mobil phone and you fax number Waiting for
your response.

Regards,

Mrs.Obanga
