I want to know if this is a scam/fraud. Here is her letter to me:
Greetings Sir/Madam,
My name is Mrs. Mariana Bouaiz. I am 35 yrs old, I was married
to Bashir who was killed last year. Bashir and I owned a Bureau de
Change business. However, our business premises was destroyed
completely during the war last year in Lebanon.
Right now, even as I am writing this mail to you from the refugee camp
where my two kids and I now reside, my health has been in a bad shape
resulting from the shock I had when my husband was killed.
The reason why I have contacted you is this, Last year, we made so
much money as profit from our Bureau de Change business valued
at $5.2 Million USD in cash.
During the first week of fighting it became most obvious that there
would be possible destructive dangers ahead, my husband
immediately put our money and other valuables in a sealed box and
shipped them to Europe for safe keeping.
Now that my husband is dead, our house and business premises destroyed, I am very scared of living here because of the fear of losing my
life or property again.
My only hope to achieve this aim and start life again along
with my children is the money that we had earlier moved to Europe
for safe keeping and that is the reason why I chose to contact you
without prior notice to give you this information.
I want to place the money under the care of an experienced person
that will help me invest it into a lucrative business that will bring good turnover.
I will give you every document concerned that was signed by the
Security company and my husband, which will empower you to receive
the money on my behalf.
For your cooperation, I will give you 10% of my total fund.
If you agree to my proposal and terms, kindly as a matter of
urgency send me your reply.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Mariana Bouaiz
