Subject: YOUR MAIL RESPONSE
I AM CONTACTING YOU WITH ALL DUE RESPECT SIR AND NEVER YOU ENTERTAIN ANY
FEAR IN THIS TRANSACTION, FOR THIS IS REAL AND GENUINE. ALL I NEED IS
HONESTY AND YOUR CAPABILITY TO HANDLE MY FAMILY FUND AND INVEST IT JOINTLY
IN YOUR COUNTRY WITH MY FAMILY.
Dear Beloved One,
Your first reaction to this mail will be total rejection, scare and may be
unbelief, owing largely to the trocities people commit these days on the
internet. But this mail comes from a devastated sorrowful and emotional
ladened soul that needs compassion from a kind and good spirited person like
you to wipe away my tears, perhaps when I am gone beyond this sinful world
by investing jointly as partners with my family in your country.
I am Mrs. Magret H.B. Kazeem . I am the above named person married to Dr.
Idris Kazeem Barker who was formerly an assistant to the secretary general
of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries "OPEC". He has worked with
this organization for nine years before he died in the year 2002, as result
of our only son brutal murder in Saudi Arabia by an unknown gun men. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I
decided never to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which
my culture is gainst.
However, the most painful and annoying part of it is that my husband's
relatives has been on my neck. They said I was behind my husband death which
is never true. They sent me packing and threw me out of my matrimonial home
which I have suffered for with my late husband for so many years. I have
nowhere to go to, so I decide to go back to my mother land to stay with my
family to get myself organised and careter for my children.Before husband
died, He made me to understand that he deposited the sum of $32 Million
(Thirty two Million U.S. Dollars) when he was still the secretary of OPEC
with a finance house in Oversea. Please Sir, I hereby request for your
urgent assistance to help my family in investing the monies as a partnership
investment with your company or any investment that both of us will benefit
from it.
Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the finance house
in Oversea. I dont want my husbands relatives to know about this
development.Please tell me in confidence, can you handle it? Can you invest
this huge amount of money successfully onbehalf of my family? Have you ever
handle such amount of money before? How old are you? Please advise most
urgently.In a short while, My Eldest Daughter and Son who are studying in
europe will meet with you in the finance house office in Europe where the
investment fund is deposited by their late father for easy claim and quick
transfer. My Eldest Daughter and Son will assisting me to facilitate this
transaction and both of you will make arrangements to have this funds
transferred through a nominated joint account which you will both open for
the money transfer.You will need to meet with both of them as soon as
possible.With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply, I will issue you a letter of authority that
will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this fund with other related
documents. Also, I will forward to you my personal information for
recognition and trust before you proceed contact with the Finance house in
Oversea, So that they will contact you as the beneficiary of this fund
before going their with my daughter to claim the fund /transfering the fund
