Subject: HELLO
Dear Sir/Madam
I salute you in the name of the most High! My name is Mrs.Linda David
Ameeraly. I am a widow
and a mother of two girls. We do not know each other and I'm wondering
how you will view this
letter. Please, accept my sincere apology. Sorry, about taking your time
as well. I will be
highly obliged if you can assist me in this business. My Husband is an
Egyptian while I am a
Ghanian. My late husband, David Ameeraly, was a loving, caring and hardworking
businessman.
Prior to his death by plane crash, he was living with us in Accra, Ghana.
He died November,
1st 1990. This sad event occured during one of his business trips to the
US. Please, find
below the website for more information. If you go through this publication
critically, you will
find my husband's name, David Ameeraly amongst others that lost their life
on that fateful day as
published by British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/502503.stm
Before the sudden death of my beloved husband, he planned to establish a
business in Europe with
the sum of US$8.5M (Eight Million, five hundred thousand US dollars only).
Unfortunately, he
died before this venture could materialise. Following his death, his family
members insisted
that I am not entitled to his properties (assets and money). Since I am
a woman and my
offsprings are all girls coupled with the fact that I do not have a male
child, I was put under
terrible pressure to stay clear from my legitimate husband estates. According
to their family
culture/traditional believe, a woman is not allowed to run late husband
business and worst of
all, I was asked to move into David's younger brother's household as one
of his wives. My
problem started when I refused to be inherited by David's younger brother.
Fortunately, the
proposed investment fund (US$8.5M ) which was deposited with the investment/security
company was
unknown to the family. As such, they did not ask for this. If not, it would
have been a problem
as there would have been nothing to fall back on. It's only our lawyer &
my humble self that
know of this fund. I have discussed this matter with the Finance company
were the fund was
lodged. This is the asset I have left and I need part of this money for
my daughters school fees
and to maintain my personal life as well. David's family was vehemently
against my daughters
education. All they intend doing, was to give them out for marriage at a
tender age. According to
the staff of the finance company, the best way to secure this money
is to transfer this money into an alternative bank account for safe-keeping.
Later it will be
used for business investment which is subject to the advise of whoever that
will be assisting us
finally. For obvious reasons, I do not want the finance company's involvement.
This transaction
must be handled under strict confidentiality. At this juncture, I thought
it wise to solicit
your indispensable assistance to receiving this fund on my behalf. I do
not have knowledge of
funds management & business in general. I was a full-time house wife. Therefore,
this step
depends on your trust-worthiness & ability to handle funds of this magnitude.
All that is
required of you, is to forward to me by email, your direct phone, fax,
address or any other
information you may deem helpful. I need the requested information for the
purpose of securing
the relevant documents in your name as my confidante/bonafide beneficiary.
Please, note that this
transaction is legitimate and 100% hitch-free. We will not violate any known
law of my country
and that of yours. So, be rest-assured.
However, as soon as I receive your positive response to the above business
transaction, I shall
provide you with necessary transfer details. Note also, that you must convince
me of your
trust-worthiness and ability to keep secret secret. I have decided to compensate
you with 30% of
the total money as a reward for your sincere assistance and the remaining
70% will be used to
pursue my late husband's investment dream in real estate. In the event
that you are less than
18yrs of age and you receive this message in error, please, disregard and
destroy the copy
without circulation. Thanking you for your anticipated response as I look
forward to hearing
from.
I remain sincerely yours,
Mrs.Linda David Ameeraly.
