strictly confidential please

My Beloved one,

This business proposal to you is strictly confidential, with due respect.

Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress you may have receiving this 
letter from me, Since we have not known ourselves or met previously. Despite 
that, I am constrained to write you this letter because of the urgency of 
it.

By way of self introduction, I am Mrs. Mary Kobe, the wife of late Brigadier 
- Gen.Maxwell Kobe former ECOMOG ARMY COMMANDER [West African peace keeping 
force in Sierra Leone] who died in the Sierra Leone civil disturbance [War].

My three daughters and I are trapped in obnoxious custom and traditional 
norms.

We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my late 
husband's family, simply because I did not bear a male child [heir apparent] 
for my late husband. By tradition, all that my late husband had,[wealth] 
belongs to his brothers/family. And myself is to be remarried by his 
immediate younger brother which I have vehemently refused. They have taken 
all that I suffered with my husband to acquire including treasures, houses 
and his bank particular seized by them. I wanted to escape to the United 
State of America [USA} with my children on exile, but again they conspired 
and stole my international passport and other traveling document to further 
frustrate me.

Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code from a Security Company 
in united kingdom, that my late husband deposited U.S $25.5 Million cash 
with this company. It has therefore, become very necessary and urgent to 
contact someone, a foreigner like you to help me receive/secure these funds 
in a reliable bank Account (presumably an empty Bank Account, if available) 
and to help invest it on our behalf as well, while we find a way of getting 
out to meet with you in your country. These funds are kept on an "OPEN 
BENEFICIARY MANDATE" with the Security Company to avoid detection, seizure 
or diversion.

I have had several telephone discussions with the Assistant Director of the 
security company, who has express willingness to help me on meeting the 
company's demands. This is why I have contacted you to help save my children 
and I, receive these funds on our behalf. But, you would need to give me 
sufficient assurance that if you help me, you would not divert the funds. My 
children and I have resolved to give you 30% of the total sum.

This is all my children and I have got to live on. Please, I have reposed my 
confidence in you and hope you will not disappoint me.

I look forward to your urgent response, including your private phone /mobile 
Number and also your fax for easier communication.

NB:I will give you the contact of my lawyer who you are going to work with 
immediately you have accepted to do as I have directed you.

Stay blessed.
Mrs Mary Kobe
