FROM: MRS SUSAN Bill SMITH.
Greetings from London!
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners.
I am Mrs. Susan Bill Smith from London United Kingdom, the wife of late Mr Clement Bijur Smith, My late husband was the Branch chairman of the Texaco petroleum oil companies in our Country. On 13 June 2000, My husband travelled for a meeting,on his way to the meeting he had a fetal accident and was taken to a hospital.
Four days before he died on 17 of june 2000, he called me to his sick bed and told me that he deposited Two metallic boxes in a security save company here in london and the Content of the boxes is { US24,million dollars} cash. But he deposited it as the boxes of family treasure that contains Gold and Jewelries.
Then after my husband's burial ceremony ,I fell sick and was taken to hospital and i was diagnose, it was discovered from the diagnosis that i have a cancer of the breast, i was advised by the doctor that i need an urgent surgical operation to forstall further spread of the cancer.Consequent upon this, i desperately need funds to carry out this operation.As you can see i had an only son in my life to live with, then i spent all the money i had in my late husband's burial.
He also told me how he made this money, that he used his position in the Office as the chairman of all the Texaco petroleum oil companies in London, and increase the price of petrol, and he doesn't want any of the board of directors to know that he made the money out of increasing the price of petrol,but due to the recient BOMB BLAST here in London.I made an arrangement with a financial Expert that moved the funds from the security save house here in london to the online bank escrow account of IBT SCHRODER TRUST BANK.
All i had in my mind is to invest this money in your country,i mapped 30% for you and 70% for me and my only son and immediately the money is in your account,i will travel down to your country with my son for the sharing of the money as promised.
This business is absolutely risk-free, i am constrained to trust you with this deal believing that you will understand the exigency of the situation and the magnitude of the fund involved.
Thanks in anticipation of your immediate response.
Mrs susan smith
