Subject: private matter
I am Mrs. Hilda Williams, wife to late Engr. Funsho Williams murdered July 27th 2006 and I pray that you will be of great assistance to me. I have U.S Dollars 19 Million; which was payback from contract business between my husband and some Russian firms. I intend to use this money for investment purposes overseas. Due to the current government reforms in the financial sector of our economy, I cannot make use of the funds locally, thus I seek your help to get these fund abroad. The money is in the deposit of a security company at the moment. I offer you 30% share of the total sum for your assistance & support. Endeavor to include your private, mobile & work telephone numbers. Send your reply & interest to participate to my family attorney and confidant, Barrister Mauna Udeka.
Regards, Mrs. Hilda Williams. c/o Bar. Mauna Udekanne_ne00@yahoo.com
