Subject: Dear Hello,
Dear Hello,
My Name is Madam Marisa Mayor . A citizen of the Philippines,widow to the late Mr Desmond Mayor who 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 in Cote D' Ivoire Due to the instruction he laid down before he deposited the box, that he needed maximum security/safety of my consignment and no body nor government organization can trace where about of the box until were ready and prepare to claim it.
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.
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 with constant 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 Cote D' Ivoire, because this is where my future and destiny lies upon.
The family of my late husband is not aware of the secret existence of this deposit which my late husband 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 family, 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.
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear from you soon.
All the best,
Madam Marisa Mayor
