Subject: Personally For Your Attention
CRAVE YOUR INDULGENCE
My Dear in the Lord,
Your first reaction to this mail will be total rejection, scare and may Be unbelief, owing largely to the atrocities people committed these days. But this mail comes from a devastated, sorrowful and emotional laddered soul that needs compassion from a kind and good spirited person to wipe away my tears, perhaps when I am gone beyond this sinful world. As an international subject, therefore, with due respect and apology, I want you to handle it very discreetly, confidentially and with utmost secrecy.
For the sake of my children, who are the cardinal focuses of this mail, For their future survival and to avoid embarrassment, I do not want our Family name to be advertised or publicly discussed. Please, treat it as such and keep it permanently private. If you would not be in the position to handle my request, please, forgive me for disturbing your peace. Ignore and delete this message.
I plead in the name of God. My purpose of writing to you is to seek Your assistance to handle and manage my late husband's financial assets and Take adequate care of our young children, John, 14years and Jennifer,
10 years. they are both studying in the British International School, Accra Ghana.
My name is Mrs. GALINA Wills Rimmer. I am a Ghanaian, a widow of circumstance, married to an American Engineer who resided here in Accra with me before his untimely death. My husband died in a car accident while going to diagnose and seek medical attention for a sickness that defied medical treatment.
Presently, I am diagnosed to have a third degree HIV virus and therefore suffering a terminal sickness of ACQURIED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROMME -AIDS-. I may die any moment but wish you to assist in keeping the family Name and circle alive. This mail is written for me by the matron of this hospital, as I am too weak to engage in any other physical endeavours.
Documented proofs for confirmation, on request, could be provided. I Have entrusted the sum of US$15.5Million Dollars USD), the accrued savings And life insurance gratuity of my late husband, with the custody of a Security Company here in Ghana. Be informed that this Company does not know that the box I deposited with them contained raw cash. I only told them that it was personal belongings.
I want you to recover the money for your prudent care, management and Safe keeping. Use it to secure travelling papers for my children to leave Ghana, and train them as your adopted children. I place no conditions on your management except taking good care of my children. I am not fearful of death but I am seriously worried about the safety and future survival of my two children.
I want this transaction to be handled with dispatch before I give up the ghost. I will appreciate it the more if you give me your reply no Matter your state of mind, negatively or positively, it is all right.
Thanks and God bless.
Mrs. GALINA Wills.
