GOOD DAY


On the 5th of February, 2003, my husband, Chief Harry Marshals was murdered
in our Abuja resident. Before the death of my husband, he was the Vice Chairman
of the All Nigerian People's Party (ANPP) in Nigeria.

This is a political party that contested with the present ruling Party,
People's Democratic Party, (PDP) that the present President won on.I have
to mourn my husband for one year according to tradition, which ended on
the 5th of February, 2004 and I have to stay extra months before the Will
of my husband will be read. On the 1st of January 2005, My late husband's
lawyer, Bar William Mcgrill summonded the family and read out the Will of
my late husband, which part of it stated
that my husband has a financial deposit of eleven million Dollars
(U.S.$11,000,000) with a Security firm in Europe and other fixed assets
in Nigeria which am left with to train my two kids and also invest in your
country

The lawyer suggested to look for a reliable person to be in possession
of the fund as I was adviced not to leave the country pending when the culprits
are brought to book.
But I refused as I want to get a trusted person to handle the fund for me
as this is what am left with to train my two kids.
I am not asking you for money, rather trust and honesty are what I need
from you.I will like to get your response on my private email and I will
forward your information to the lawyer who will advice you properly
I will compensate you financially for your assistance, please treat this
with passion and compassion.I wait for your response. E-MAIL:{
