Subject: please get back to me urgently
Dear friend ,
Greetings to you and your family in the name of God, in my search for
a reliable and GOD fearing person and having gotten your contact
through prayers and pains taking efforts via searching I made on the
internet on my bed side. I have decided to seek your help in carrying
out my last wishes. My name is Mrs. Rose Hodonou, I'm a 38 years old
woman and my Country is Sierra- Leone, I was a merchant and owned two
businesses in Nigeria , I was also married with two children.
I have kept US$6,325,000.00 (Six Million Three Hundred & Twenty-Five
Thousand United States Dollars)in a long-term deposit account in Eco
Bank Nigeria West Africa. Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have
been undergoing treatment for Oesophagi Cancer at International
Memorial Hospital Cotonou.
I had two children but unfortunately, my husband and my daughter where
involved in a plane crash in the Dec, 25th. I am now left with my only
son Solomon. Below is the plane crash

Note: The reason why I am contacting you is because I have since lost
my ability to talk and my doctor have told me that I have only few
weeks to live, I want to know if you can arrange for a better hospital
over there in your country so that I can come there for a better
surgery and also to know if you can take care of my son when I will be
undergoing this surgery,
I have decided to give you charge of my US$6,325,000.00 (Six Million
Three Hundred & Twenty-Five Thousand United States Dollars) deposit so
that you can invest it in a very lucrative business in your country,
we never can tell what will happen during the surgery, so that in case
if anything happen to me during this operation, my son will have
someone to take care of him and a business/funds to inherit for a good
future or if this surgery goes well, I will have a business that I can
use to take care of my only son.
Please note that this fund is lying with Eco Bank Nigeria a reputable
Bank here in West Africa and as I am writing this message to you from
a hospital Bed, I am not sure that I will survive this operation but
even if I have to die, first I want to secure a future for my only
son. My problem now is this am afraid of people, I don't want my son
to suffer or cry as mother les or father les that is why I am afraid I
want a GOD fearing or Allah so that this money will be invested as we
planed without delay and who will take good care of my son.
All I WANT FROM YOU IS TO TAKE THE MONEY WITH MY SON AND INVEST IT SO
THAT YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF MY SON IF I DID NOT SURVIVE THIS.I HAVE
AGREE TO GIVE YOU 25% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT.
Please get back to me very fast so that I can tell you what to do
because my days now is being numbered.
May the good lord bless you
Sincerely yours
Mrs. Rose Hodonou
