Subject: Dear Beloved,
Dear Beloved,
I am Konani Fatima from Angola. I am the only surviving Daughter of
Late Mr and Mrs Alipo Smith,my Father worked with Chevron Corporation
for twenty years before he died in a motor accident with my mother in
the year 2006.
My late Father deposited the sum of $7.5 Million (Seven Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars) with a bank here in Cote D Iviore.
Recently,my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the
stroke and cancerous problems I am suffering from.I have decided to
donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from
my late fathers effort to fund the upkeep of widows and charities
worldwide.
Please i need you to send to me the following informations
1.your full Name.
2.Your private phone and fax number
3) your account number
4)your age and your occupation
5)the name of your bank
6)Any of your ids
I took this decision because I do not have any direct brother or
sister that will inherit this money and my fathers relations are
bourgeois andvery wealthy persons and I do not want my late fathers
hard earned money to be misused.Please, consider this and get back to
me as soon as possible.
Your Faithfully
Konani Fatima
