Subject: From Mrs. Rita Abed
Dearest Beloved,
I am Mrs. Rita Abed from Ivory Coast. I was married to Late Chief George Abed who was a contractor with the Government of Cote D'Ivoire before he died after few days in the hospital.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $4.500 Million Dollars with a Bank in Cote D抣voire. Presently this money is still in the custody of the Bank here in Cote DIvoire. My Doctor told me that it is very likely I will die within the next 3 months due to A Blood cancer {LUCAMIA}.
I have decided to donate the money for charity to you since I do not have a child to inherit it and it抯 better I do not die leaving the money here without it reaching to the poor and the lessprivileged ones in the society. As soon as I receive your reply I shall tell my bank to transfer the money to you.
Informations Required from you are: Your Full Name(.......................... )Your Direct Tel & Fax N?(......................, )Your Home & Office addresses(..............................)Your Bank Account (..................)
With these informations, I will forward them to the Bank for immediately transferring of the Funds to your Position. Please always pray for me and let God give me more Good health to stay in this World.
EMAIL ME
Mrs. Rita Abed
