>confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian 
>administration, I have been subjected to physical and psychological 
>torture by the security agents in the country.
>My son is still under detention arraigned before the federal high 
>court of Nigeria for an offernce he did not commit.
>As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with 
>anybody within the country. You must have heard over the media 
>reports and the internet on the recovery of various huge sums of 
>money deposited by my husband in different security firms abroad, 
>some companies willingly give up their secrets and disclosed our 
>money confidently lodged there or many outright blackmail.
>In fact the total sum discovered by the Government so far is in the 
>tune of $700. Million dollars. And they are not relenting to make me 
>poor for life. You may be surprised how I got to know about you, but 
>do not be alarmed, my trusted aide did his homework very 
>carefully,and I will give you more information as to this regard 
>when you reply.
>I repose great confidence in you hence my approach to you due to 
>security network placed on my day to day affairs I cannot avoid to 
>visit the embassy so that is why I decided to contact you and I hope 
>you will not betray my confidence in you.
>I have deposited the sum of 40.3 million dollars with a security 
>firm abroad whose name is witheld for now until we open cmunication. 
>I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your account 
>for safe keeping. This arrangement is known to you and my son 
>Mustapha alone,so my son will deal directly with you as security is 
>up my whole being.
>I am seriously considering to re-marry if you desire as soon as this 
>fund get into your account so that I can start all over again with 
>you if only you wish, but if don&#8216;t want to marry me just help 
>me in diverting this fund into your account which will accrue you 
>30% of this fund .
>Please honesty is the watch word in this transaction. I will require 
>your telephone and fax numbers so that we can commence communication 
>immediately and I will give you a more detailed picture of things.
