Hello, Greetings to you.

I am Mrs. Viena Hanshaw, an aging widow. I am 66 years old suffering from long time illness. I am currently admitted in a private hospital here in Abidjan the capital city of Cote d`Ivoire. I have some funds I inherited from my late loving husband Mr. George Hanshaw, the sum of US$4.200.000.00 which he deposited in bank here, and I need a honest and God fearing person that can use these funds for charity work, and 15% out of the total funds will be for your compensation for doing this work of God. I found your email address from the internet and I decide to contact you.

Please if this proposal interests you, I will like you to keep this email as top secret until we finalize with the arrangement because heart of men are evil. Kindly reply to my email as soon as possible for more details; AT ( [email protected] )

Sincerely yours,

Mrs Viena Hanshaw.
