Subject: Dear Respected one,

Dear Respected one,
CONFIDENTIAL
My name is Madam Chinasa Collins A complete citizen of the
Philippines, widow to the late former minister of finance in Philippine who died
on 15th of May 2002.
My husband fell sick and he was flown to France for treatment but later
died of ulcer and he has been buried.
I inherited a total sum of 12.3 million dollars from my late husband;
this money which is concealed in a metallic trunk box is deposited with
a security and finance company here in Philippine. Due to the
instruction I laid down before I deposited the box, that I needed maximum
security/safety of my consignment and no body nor government organization can
trace the where about of the box until I am ready and prepare to claim
it. for this reason the security company used their diplomatic means to
send the box out of Philippines to Nigera Abuja where they
have their underground secrete vault.
This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a family treasure.
This means that the security company does not know the content of this
trunk box that was sent from the Philippine to Nigerai Abuja
under a diplomatic coverage for safe keeping.
My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of the way I found
you and perhaps trustworthy to give you this priority of shipping the
box of money to any address that you think is very secure and save in
your country with your percentage of which we shall chat on soon.
In fact, since the death of my husband, his brothers has been seriously
chasing me around ithonstant treats, trying to suppress me so that
they might have the documents of his landed properties and confiscate
them. They have successfully collected all his properties, yet they never
stopped there, they told me to surrender all bank account of my late
husband, which I did, but I never disclose to them this deposit with the
security company in Nigeria Abuja, because this is where my
future and destiny lies upon.
The family of my late husband never aware of the secret existence of
this deposit which I made with the security company and they can never be
aware of it.
Out of fear of my late husbands family, and when the situation becomes
uncontrollable because of pressure on me from the Government of the
Philippines, I decide to look for a trustworthy person who could assist me
retrieve this box of money from the security company for onward
lodgement into his account for the purpose of future investment. Consider my
situation as a widow and come to my rescue.
There is need for urgent action because I'm paying $50 dollars per day
as a demurrage to the security company for safe keeping this
consignment.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear
from you soon.
All the best,
Madam Chinasa Collins
