Subject: Call for help
Dear friend,
Greetings, I am Mrs. Aisha Mohamed, a widow to Late Sheik Mohamed Sani, I am 64years old, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live more than Six months according to my doctors. This is because the damage the cancer has done to me is very bad .
My late husband was killed during the US raid against terrorism in
Afghanistan, and during the period of our blissful marriage we couldn't produce any child of our own. My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his business and wealth.
The doctor has advised me that I may not live for more than Six months and that it is only by the power of God that can determine my life span, so I now decided to divide part of this wealth, to contribute to the development of the less privelegded and poor in Africa, America, Asia and Europe.
I selected you after visiting the internet and I prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of 6.800,000.00 Million Us Dollars to you for the lessprivileged. Please I want you to note that,this fund is lying in a security Firm and upon my instuction, you will file in an application for the transfer of the money in your name.
Lastly, I honestly pray that this money when transferred will be used for the said purpose, and not other wise. If you are interested kindly contact my lawyer Mr Mike Obi through his email: mikeobiassociates2@yahoo.fr
May God be with you and your family.
I await your response.
Mrs. Aisha Mohamed c/o Mr Mike Obi
