Subject: Good Day !
Good Day !I am mrs Rachiel Vereta from Botswana. I am married to Dr.johnson Vereta who worked with Botswana embassy in Leshoto for nine years before he died. We were married for eighteen years with a child.My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $4, 865 000,00 million dollars(Four million Eight hundred and sixty five thousand U.S.Dollars) in a security company in Abidjan-Cote D'Ivoire.The money was deposited in a trunk box as family valuables. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer Problem. Though what disturbs me most is the stoke,.Having known my condition I decided to donate part of this fund to motherless babies home or better still a God fearing individual that will utilize this money to the glory of God and to take care of my only child for better future..I took this decision because my only child is still young and can not manage this fund very well and my husband relatives are not happy with my husband's wealth when he was alife and through my prayers and the directions of God,I have found out that their hands is in my husband's death and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by evil men. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner,hence the reason for taking this bold decision. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security company in Abidjan where my husband deposited the consignment . Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein and you will take care of my only child. Hoping to hear from you soonYours Sincerely, Mrs Rachiel Vereta
