Subject: Hello
Dearest,
My name is Mrs Rita Taylor, l am 41yrs old, a widow from Houston Texas my
husband Mr Edward Taylor, died 3 months ago in auto crash, l dont have any
kid yet before his death.
l was having some pressure from my inlaws after the death of my husband,
becos they wanted me to remarry my late hubby's brother, but l refused
becos l donn't love him, Now they have conspired to deprive me assets to
my late hubby's properties as well as to drag me out of the house with out
given anything to me, they sued me to court saying that l was not legally
married to my late hubby.
l still have case in court with them, the next hearing will be comming up
next month, l am scared becos l did not have any legal marriage
certificate, l and my late hubby palnned to legaly get marred in 1 month
time b4 his sudden death.
Now my inlaws have set up a panel that will monitor my activities to see
if l have anything bearing my late husband's name, And l am having a
document of joint account l had with my late husband with HSBC BANK LONDON
b4 his death, in view of this I desided to take this step to secure the
money and change the details of the Joint Account abroad so that l can be
able to take care of myself, and as well as having opportunity of getting
married again.
The money is much enough for me to start business investment in your
country but l would need ur help in the following areas, since l dont have
any person abroad. 1st; l need ur sincere coperation. 2nd; l need u to
assist me in the areas of profitable business negotiation in ur country,
3rd; l would need ur contact information for adquate communication and
more trustworthness, becos l would need ur bank account and full names
and address to change the details of the account with yours before the
transfer will take place to your local account in your country. as soon as
l confirmed the informations u will send to me, I will contact the Lawyer
of the Bank to work for us, as I have already informed him by mail last
week and he replied that as soon as I get Nice person I want to do the
business with, he will work for us perfectely.
When the money is transfered into ur account, l will be lessassured that
l have secured the money, then l will wait and see the outcome of the
case, before comming to ur country in summer.
Above all this l would like u to love me as ur own person since I lost my
perents long ago and I was the only child of my perents, and give me ur
protection while in ur country.

Phone and they are monitoring my moves.
