Dearest One,

I am Madam Halimah Wahid I am a widow I lost my husband during the political uproar here in our country,
my Late husband Mr Wahid Wazam was a serving director of the Cocoa
exporting board until his death. He was assassinated by the rebels
following the political uprising, before his death he made a deposit
of Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,500,000.00USD) here
in Benin Republic in one of the Security Company,

He intended to buy a Cocoa processing Machine with the fund. I want you
to help me for us to retrieve this fund and transfer it to your
account in your country or any safer place as you will be the
beneficiary and recipient of the fund which we will use for joint
investment in your country. I have plans to make investment in your
country,

like real estate and industrial production. This is my reason for
writing you. Please if you are willing to assist me and my two children
Shariffa and Youssouff Wazam, indicate your interest by replying urgently.
Due to my poor health and low educational level I have categorically handed
this deal over to My son Youssouff.

Thanks and best regards.

Madam, Asma Wahid

Alright; what am offering is very simple and clear; the money i told
you about is stocked in the security company's custody which was
deposited by my late husband and there is no way i can lay my hands on
that fund without an upper hand.

So i specifically want you to apply for the claims of that fund either
as a group or an individual who partnered with my husband when he was
alive, therefore you will stand in as the beneficiary to the fund, as
i will make sure we produce all the necessary documents to back it up
as my late husbands wish.

You can use it to run your program or what ever you wish to do with
your own part of the money, however i won't tolerate any form of
betrayal; just apply to the agency and what ever information you need
am here to provide it. Let me know if we should proceed.

Thanks.
