Dearest,
I presume that we have not met neither have we communicated before firstly, my name is Mrs Francisca Cyril I am the wife of late Mr.Kenneth Cyril My late husband Mr.Kenneth Cyril, was a crude oil and diamond magnet based in Accra-Ghana and Abidjan-Cote d' Ivoire, when he was alive he was poisoned by his business associates on one of their business trips in France He died last Two months at the age of 53 after a brief illness in a private hospital Here in (Abidjan) Cote d' Ivoire, Could you believe that the tradition and custom of the town and state where my late husband came from demands that any woman Who does not have a male child for the husband, that when ever the husband dies, all the properties including cash will be shared among the late husband brothers and the woman will be sent out of the husband house just like that. My dear, this is exactly what I am going through right now since last Two Months my husband died.
My late husband brothers has taken all the properties belonging to my late husband including bank account and as well sent me out of my Husband house just because I do not have a male child for my late husband this is a waked tradition and believe. As am talking to you now, I and my daughter are going through hell at the moment. Right now, I am having in my position all the vital documents relating to the sum of $10 million dollars which my late husband deposited with a bank here in (Abidjan) Cote d' Ivoire, and he made all the vital Documents with my name as the next of kin before his death. Please remember that I cannot make use of this fund here due to forces surrounding me at the moment.
Please have mercy at the poor widow like me and help me out of this mess. I strongly believe that the only way I can secure this money for myself is to act fast now and lift this money overseas that is the main reason why I am contacting you for your assistance. Please, as soon as this fund is lifted into your country, you can go ahead and have 20% for your time and patience in helping me. Please if you are willing to help I am waiting for your urgent response
Thanks
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Francisca Cyril
