Subject: (from Mrs. Faiza,)
I presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things unfold, we will know each other better. I will start by introducing myself to you, I am Mrs. faiza, the wife of yoonus, I am from a Moslem home but my marriage to chief yoonus turned me into Christianity. I know you might say that I am wrong but the fact remains that Chief was a very good man and he loved me so much right from my childhood days, he paid my school fees and when my dad died, he was the only person who assisted my poor family till his death.. I am the fourth wife and the only Moslem in their clan, so I was hated by my co-wives and chief kinsmen. Because of that chief always protected me like an egg. Before chief died last month, he called me in his hospital bed and he told me that he has a box which he deposited in a storage and finance company, he directed me to bring one of his files which he kept in the house, inside the file is the document covering the deposit of the box.. then he said to me.."FAIZA I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HATED BY MY FAMILY AND WHEN I AM GONE THEY WILL MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR YOU AND YOUR ONLY DAUGHTER", then he gave me the file and ask me to go and file for the release of the box and he instructed that I should use the money inside the box to take care of our daughter. After the burial of chief, the other three wives connived with chief brothers and they sent me away from the family house with nothing. Last week I went with my daughter to the Storage company and they confirmed that the box is still intact, we told them that we want the box but they said we should bring an address in your country where the box will be ship to; according to them, they had an agreement with Chief that the box will be ship to your country anytime it will be released. If you are interested in helping me I will give you 15% of the money. The total amount in the box is(US$18M) million us dollars Please I need your help. I do not have any relation in over there and do not trust people in any African country. My Please help me and my only child, because our life is no more safe here.. I want to get the box release and transferred out of Ghana to your country as soon as possible, then I will come over and you will also assist me and my daughter. to invest the money in a safe lucrative business there. I want us to be fast about this before Chief family will get to know about it, as for now no one outside my family knows about this. Thanks and Allah bless your family.Yours Sincerely Mrs. Faiza. Yoonus for the family
