Subject: PLEASE HELP ME AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS.
Dear Friend,
I warm-heartedly make this contact with you on a positive note Anticipating your kind consideration and co-operation,and plead for your time and understanding in this. Firstly, my name is MrsERICA NZAMO, I am the wife of late MICHAEL NZAMO.My late husband MICHAEL NZAMO who was a very successful business tycoon based here in Ghana was also the chairman Executive LA-PALM ROYAL BEACH HOTEL, C.E.O NZAMO HOLDINGS and a host of other companies died last month at the age of 46 after a briefillness at Kolebu Teaching Hospital here in Ghana. In our world today, such a manner of approach may not be acceptable or very suspicious, as we do not know each other and have not had any sort of communication in the past, but I urge you to take my email very seriously, considering the situation. Could you believe that the tradition and customs of the town and village where my late husband came from demands that any woman who does not have a male child for the husban!
d, that when ever the husband dies, all the properties belonging to the late husband including cash will be shared among the late husband brothers and the woman will be sent out of her husband house for good. My dear, this is exactly what I am going through right now since last month my husband died. My late husband brothers has taken all the properties belonging to my late husband including companies, bank accounts and as well sent me and my little daughters out of my husband house just because I do not have a male child for my late husband. This is a wicked tradition and culture that has no moral value. As am talking to you now, I and my two daughters are going through hell at the moment. Right now, I am having in my position all the vital documents relating to the sum of $9.5 million dollars which my late husband deposited with a bank here with my name as the next of kin before his death. Last week I contacted the manager of the bank and I was t!
old that the money is very much intact,that I can as well come for i
t any time I feel like. Please remember that I cannot make use of this fund here due to forces surrounding me at the moment, I am regarded as a treat to my husband brother and they have threatened to kill me. Please have mercy at the poor widow like me and help me out of this mess. All I want you to do for me is to assist me transfer this fund into your account immediately before my late husband brothers will have knowledge of it and claim it just like the way they did to others. I strongly believe that the only way I can secure this money for myself is to act fast now and transfer this money overseas,that is the main reason why I am contacting you for your assistance. Please note that, as soon as this fund is transferred into your account,you will stand the chance to have 20% percent of the total fund while 80% percent will remain for me so that I can be able to take care of my two kids my late husband left behind for me. Remember that my children are th!
e only happiness I have here on earth and I cannot stand to watch them go through such pains. You will be greatly rewarded and be entitled to a percentage of the proceeds from the any investments for rendering me this most needed assistance. I look forward to hearing from you immediately so that I can direct you what next to do for us to commence the transfer immediately.
Sincerely,
MRS ERICA NZAMO.
