Dearest in Lord
I crave your indulgence at this mail coming from somebody you have not Known
before. I decided to do this after praying over the situation.
You should please consider the transaction on its content and not the Fact
that you have not known me before. I need not to dwell on how I came by your
contact information because there are many such possibilities These days.
I would like to introduce myself as Mrs. Rosemary James, of Republic of
Benin, widow to Late George. James (for Consular of the London I have been
recently been diagnosed of Cancer of the Pelvic.
I am writing from my sick bed. There is this US4.5 Million my husband has in
an account with the Platinum Finance Security Bank London , of which I am
the next of kin. With my health condition and because my husband and I have
no children, I am looking for a credible person to whom I will pass the
right of next of kin.
This person will apply to the bank and request for the transfer of the und
to his/her bank account. This is on the condition that you will take 25% of
the fund for yourself, 5% used for expenses, while you will use the
remaining 70% for the less privilege people in the society.
This is in fulfillment of the last request of my husband: that a substantial
part of the fund be used to carter for the less privileged. If this
condition is acceptable to you, you should contact me immediately with your
full names and contact information so that I will ask our family lawyer to
prepare the authorization that will give you the right of
next of kin to the account in the bank. I will also give you a text of the
application you are to send to the bank.
I cannot predict what will be my fate by the time the fund will be
transferred into your account, but you should please ensure that the fund is
used as I have described above.
If you accept this offer please I will appreciate your timely response,
Please response to this email address (rosemary_james2005@yahoo.com)

Mrs. Rosemary James
