My Dear,
I am Mrs. Villaran Nenita-a citizen of
Philippine, widow and legitimate
Heir to the late former Minister of finance who was
Assassinated for
Been working with the ex-president Joseph Estrada
In Philippine.
I inherited a total sum of 19.3 million dollars from
My late husband,
The pressure from my decease husband's family for
This money has
Compelled me to leave Manila and have the money
Which is concealed in a
Metallic trunk box is deposited with a security and
Finance company london under a secret arrangement as a family
Treasure.
This means that the security company does not know
The content of this
Box that was shipped from the Philippine to london under a
Diplomatic coverage.
My purpose of asking for your assistance boil down
To the fact that I
Don't want my late husband's family to be aware or
Name involves. And the
Deposit statement of the box authorized the company
To make this box
Available for shipment on request only to my foreign
Business
Representative though unnamed.
Hence I want you to contact the security company
As my business
Partner, after receiving the prove from me to enable
The company release
The consignment to you diplomatically, while I join
You on the arrival
Of the box.
I have paid all demurrage, storage charges and the
Shipment fee, all
You need do is to help me contact the security
Company and introduce
Yourself as my business partner, requesting the
Shipment of the box.
And as soon as Diplomatic shipping agent approved
The shipment and tell
You the arrival date of the box then I will join you
To give you 20% of
The money instantly before I go on with the proposed
Investment in your> domain provided is secured and investment
Friendly.
Please if you are interested and willing to
Represent me as my
Business partner kindly write me as soon as
Possible.
I await your urgent response.
Best wishes,
Mrs. Villaran Nenita
