Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
My name is Mrs. Vivian Eke. I am a widow and a mother of three all girls. I know you will see my letter to you as an embarrassment considering the fact that we do not know ourselves. I plead with you to be patient with me, I feel very pleased to contact you for some assistance and
business relationship.
I live in Nigeria with my children. My late husband was a loving, caring and hard working businessman who died unfortunately in a ghastly auto crash.
Before the sudden death of my beloved husband, and father of my daughters, my late husband intended to establish business in the United States of America with the sum of US$14.6 Million United States dollars, but unfortunately he died before this proposed venture. Following his death, his family members insisted that I am not entitled to his property (Assets and money) since I am a woman and my offspring's all girls, as I do not have a male child for my husband.
According to some barbaric traditional laws here in Nigeria, which doesn'tpermit a woman to inherit a man's property, as they are expected by tradition to take over the management of his business and other properties including myself who will automatically becomes a wife to one of his immediate brothers.
Unfortunately to this wicked family members,the US$14.6 million United States dollars which my late husband intended to use in establishing a business in the United States was deposited in a BANK unknown to his Families and my late Husband lawyer is the only one aware of this money, so I
have discussed this matter with our family lawyer that I want this money personally so that I will be able to take care of my children educational needs since my husband's family members vehemently opposed the furtherance of their education.
At this juncture, I therefore ask for your sincere assistance to secure these funds. I shall provide you with all the necessary detail for this transaction.
However, I have decided to give you 30% of the total money as a reward for your sincere assistance 70% of the money will be for my investment as I will want to keep aglow my late husbands dream of investing in your country.
Kindly send your contact information's so that I will dispatch it to the attorney who will take care of this transaction on your behalf.
Looking for your anticipated response.
Mrs.Vivian Eke.
