Good Day,
My name is, Mrs. Maria Aquino. A complete citizen of the Philippines,widow
to the late Mr. Benigno Aquino. Who was a Philippino opposition leader,
killed at 50 of age then.
I inherited a total sum of $75 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
Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire, because this is where my future and destiny lies
upon.
The family of my late husband never 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 Diplomatic shipment into your country for the
purpose of investments. I think you are well choosen for this venture.
Consider my situation as a widow and come to my rescue please.
To be honest with you, My late husband have already paid for the storage and
deposit charges when he deposited the box of money with the security
company, receipt of payments confirming these storage and deposit charges
are with me intact here in Abidjan Ivory Coast. you may have to help only
for the cost of diplomatic service shipment fees to deliver the trunk box on
your door step. I don't know how much percentage you would like to take for
assisting me receive this trunk in your house but i will like to disscus
that with you during the shipment processing. Please direct your reply to my
private e-mail address here: m_aquino63@yahoo.com.ph
I give thanks immensely for your co-operation as I look forward to hear from
you urgent.
Wishing you all the best,
Madam Maria Aquino.
