Dear Friend, my private E-mail//mrs.winniejeffries2009@gmail.comÂI am contacting you believing that you are a honest and trustworthy person. I believe you will not betray the confidence; I am willing to repose in you, for me to have contacted you even though we've not met before.
ÂI have decided to seek your help in carrying out my lastÂwishes, MyÂname is Mrs Winnie Jeffries. I'm a 52 years old woman and my CountryÂis Ouagadougou, I was the chairman of "Cocoa marchant farmers", based in the city of "Ouagadougou" the Republic of Burkina Faso,ÂIÂwas Âalso married with two children.
My husband was the director of CamelaÂVegetable Oil Company (CVO) before his death, with my two childrenÂwere involved in aÂcar accidentÂonÂDecember 26thÂ2004, before this happened, my business and concern for making money was all I careÂfor, IÂnever really cared about other values in life.
Since I was bereaved, I have found a new desire to assist helpless families, IÂhave been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless, IÂhave also donated some money for humanitarian needs, only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and livelihood people inÂCanberra, Australia through fire.
I was moved with great pity and compassion that I decided to make this contribution on assisting people over there or any part of the world like Asia/ Europe and America that might still need any financial help, IÂhave kept (US$9.300 Million)ÂNineÂMillionÂThree Hundred ThousandÂUnited States Dollars Âin a long-term depositÂinÂbank.
Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for Oesophagi Cancer at Memorial Hospital.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only fewÂweeks to live, It is my last wish to see this money distributed to victims of the fire outbreak in Australia and other charity organization in the World likeÂI said, IÂhave enclosed for you the Current Photograph I took below Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I can not live with the agony entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit with the help of my Lawyer andÂdistribute it accordingly Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep 30% of it to yourself. Feel free to re-imbrues yourself when you have the money for any expenses you made during the process of collecting/claiming the Funds on my behalf.
