Subject: Dear Wouters, private matter
Dear Wouters,
I am Mrs. Hilda F. Williams, the wife of late Engr. Funsho Williams who was murdered July 27th 2006, while still on active service. I am contacting you with the hope that you will be of great assistance to me. I currently have the sum of Nineteen Million U.S Dollars (US$19 Million) which was payback from contract deal between my husband and Russian firms in a multi-billion Dollar Electricity & Power plants project. I intend to use my husbands share being the above sum which was returned after his death for investment purposes overseas. Due to the current government attitude I cannot make use of this money within, thus I seek your help to get these fund abroad. The money was deposited in a security company with the help of our family Attorney. I shall offer you 30% share of the total sum for your assistance & support. Kindly reply to me via my family attorney and confidant, Barrister Mauna Udeka. Endeavor to include your private, mobile & work telephone numbers. Yours truly, Mrs. Hilda F. Williams.
