Hello my dear,
Nice to meet you, I am Mrs. Rubby Jonson from the Republic of Ghana,I got attracted to rely on you. I deemed it necessary to disclose this important issue to you. I lost my husband in 2005 and before his death, he had a deposit with a Finance Security House here in Ghana , where he made a deposit of US$7.2 Millions Dollars in consignment. This money was for the purchase of cocoa procession machines , unfortunately he did not meet his target before his untimely death.

Why I contacted you, due to the agreement he had with thefinance house during deposit, we,ve been denied total access to the money, the Manager told me precisely that the money was deposited in a suspense fixed account with a clause attached to it for onward transfer into a foreign account. That the finance house will follow the agreement written and signed by both (the house and my
husband). I was advised to look for a foreign account where the money can be transferred before I can have
access to it.

Since security here cannot be guaranteed besides, i have e lost my husband, I hereby ask you to do me a favor by standing as my late husband,s foreign business partner and the beneficiary of the money to enable the bank effect the transfer into your account.

I have plans to invest this money in continuation with the investment vision of my late husband, but not in this place again rather in your country. I have the vision of going into real estate and industrial production, please if you are willing to assist me and my only son Martin, indicate your interest in replying soonest.

The bank has given me requirements I should forward to
them:
1. Your full name, contact postal address
2. Your phone and fax numbers.
3. Occupation

If you agree on this,l will give you 20% of the total share when transferred, then 5% will be given to you if you made any expense on the cause of the transfer.
Waiting to hearing from you, please once I hear from you I'll send you my pictures, also the deposit certificate the bank gave to my late husband.

i receive two to three of that every week -

what u do is this - when you reeive it - look for the address it came from - or the return to address - lets say it came from somewhere@yahoo.com, all you have to do is forward the email to abuse@yahoo.com - or if it came from somewhere@hotmail.com - do the same thing, forward the email to abuse@hotmail.com.

Sometimes the from email address is a fake one, but in the body of the email, the writer will write something like - reply to so so and so email - then do the same thing as above - forward it to the abuse address of the email.

All email programmes has their own abuse email which u can always forward to - you will receive a reply, and in most cases, they block the email address.
