A widows scam????

Post by Brian Henry »

Take a look at this! Is this another scam?????

Dear friend,
I greet you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. My name is
Mrs. phina Aisha udo. 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 BENIN
REP OF COTONOU 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 a business in
the united states of America with the sum of$20 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. Well, according to some barbaric traditional laws here in
COTONOU (Africa) which doesn't permit 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
automatically becomes a wife to one of his immediate brothers.
Unfortunately to this wicked family members, the $20 million
united states dollars which my late husband intended to use in
establishing a business in the United States was deposited in a bank
account in BENIN unknown to his family .I and the lawyer is the only
one aware of this money, so I have discussed this matter with a staff
of the bank that i want this money personally so that I will be able
to take care of my children's educational needs since my husband's
family members
vehemently opposed the furtherance of their education.
According to the staff of the bank, the best way to secure this
money is to transfer this money to a bank account For safe-keeping,
later it will be used for business establishment subject to the
Advise of
whosoever finally assists us. At this juncture, I there fore ask
for your sincere assistance in providing us with your bank details
and the
enablement to facilitate the remittance of this fund into your
nominated account. As soon as I get your positive response, I shall
provide you with all the necessary detail for this transfer.
However, I have decided to to give you 20% of the total money as
a reward for your sincere assistance and the remaining 80% of the
money will be for my investment in your country under your care as I
will
want to keep aglow my late husbands dream of investing in real
estate. To be able to help me, kindly send through my email: aishamusebo@yahoo.com your
personal details including your contact information for easy communication.
Thanking you for your anticipated response .
Mrs. Phina Aisha Musebo and children

That one's legit. I helped her last time, and she gave me 20% of the $20 million. I just work for fun now, and I live off the interest on that $4 million dollars.

Seriously, does anyone actually believe these things?
