Subject: Mrs. Valerie Wetego
Dear Beloveth,
I am Mrs. Valerie Wetego from Sierra Leone,presently taking refuge in the Republic of Cote D'Ivoire. I came across your contact via the internet while searching for a trust worthy and honest person that will help me and my daugther. My late husband was a loving,caring and harworking businessman who died unfortunately in an Air crash along with his foreign business partner. Before the sudden death of my beloved husband and father of my daughter,my late husband and his Foreign Business Partner intended to establish a business in the united states of America with the sum of $ 7.5 million united states dollars which he packed in a box and deposited with a security comlpany here,but unfortunately they both died in an Aircrash on their way to Kenya before the proposed venture.
Following my husband's death, his family members are telling me that I am not entitled to his property (ASSETS AND MONEY) ) because I am a woman and my offspring is a female as well , according to some barbaric traditional laws in Sierra Leone (Africa) which doesn't permit a woman to inherit her husband's property,but I and my child will be cartered for by my late husband family,which means that they will take over the management of his business and other
properties.
Unfortunately to this wicked family members, the $7.5 million united states dollars which my late husband intended to use in establishing a business in the United States was deposited with a security company here in Abidjan unknown to his family .His Lawyer and I are the only people aware of this money,so I have discussed this matter with the lawyer that I want this money to be kept finally from the knowledge of this wicked family members of my late husband and he agreed but said that I need to look for a foreigner to claim the box from the security company here as the beneficiary.
At this point,my lawyer and I needs your sincere assistance in retrieving this box out from the security company as the Co-beneficiary. As soon as I hear your positive response, However,I and the lawyer has agreed to give you 15% of the money as a reward for your sincere assistance and the remaining 85% of the money will be for me and my daughter which you will also help us to invest in your country.
In your response to this request,Please include your full names,phone numbers for easy communication.
Thanks,
Your Sincerely,
Mrs. Valerie Wetego
