Good day to you and your family
- Good day to you and your family.I am contacting you about a need I have and I believe you are well able to help me. It all depends on our trusting each other but I've chosen to contact you prayerfully and believe you are the person to help me.I am Gladys Boateng,29yrs old woman from Ghana. I became a widow 18 months ago. The source of my husband's death was believed to be from our detractors who are never happy he was making so much progress.The issue is that my husband sold a piece of land he inherited from his late father. He made so much fortune from the sales because mineral deposit (gold) was found to be on the land. He deposited the money(about $8.2M USD including Goldand diamond) in a Keeping Company here in Accra Ghana. He was later afflicted with an unexplainable disease which kept him incapacitated for two years. Money could not help him out as he died 18 months ago with the ailment.After his death, his family was on me to tell them where the money was lodged as they have taken over all of his belongings. They have also emptied his bank accounts with other banks and discovered the money was not lodged there. My husband warned me not to disclose the money to his family before he died in the hospital. The family has left me and my son with nothing. I now fend for myself and Micheal my only son.My plans are to relocate from Ghana, but I will need to move out the money left by my husband. Any attempt for me to try and move it in my name will cause me more problems than I can imagine as an African woman. Once I move the money out, I'll come to your country where I will invest the money under your guide.The main reason of contacting you is to solicit your help in coming forward as my husband's foreign business partner. I will get all necessary documents to help us move the fund to you which will enable me to come over and get the money shared between us 60% for me 5% for the lawyer who is going to help in legal processes and 30% for you for helping out.While 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that will be involved in this transactionPlease NOTE that the earlier you help me the better as you will be doing God a great favor because my life is no more save with these people here.I will need your reply stating your readiness to help in seeing this deal through.Thanks and be bless.Mrs.Gladys Boateng.
