Business Assistance
My name is Florence Okpohoka I am a widow and a mother of two (2) all
girls. I know you will see my letter to you as an embarrassment considering
the fact that we do not know ourselves. I plead with you to be patient with
me I feel very pleased to contact you for some assistance and business relationship.
My late husband intended to establish a business Abroad with the sum of
USD$6.9m, but unfortunately he died before this proposed venture.
Following his death, his family members insisted that I am not entitled
to his property (Assets and money) since I am a woman and my offspring's
all girls, as I do not have a male child for my husband.
Well, according to some barbaric traditional laws here in (Africa) which
doesn't permit a woman to inherit a man's property, as they are expected
by tradition to take over the management of his business and other properties
including myself who automatically becomes a wife to one of his immediate
brothers.
Unfortunately to these wicked family members, the $6.9M which my late
husband intended to use in establishing a business, was deposited in a Security
Company account unknown to his family. I and the lawyer are the only one
aware of this money, so I have discussed this matter with a staff of the
Security Company that i want this money personally so that I will be able
to take care of my children's educational needs since my husband's family
members vehemently opposed the furtherance of their education.
According to the staff of the bank, the best way to secure this money
is to transfer this money to a bank account outside For safe-keeping,
later it will be used for business establishment subject to the Advise of
whosoever finally assists us.
I therefore ask for your sincere assistance to facilitate the remittance
of this fund into your nominated account. However, I have decided to give
you 20% of the total money as a reward for your sincere assistance, while
5% will be for settlement of the expense might come by both parts. As soon
as I get your positive response, I shall provide you with all the necessary
detail for this transfer.
Thanking you for your anticipated response.
Florence Okpohoka.
