From Hospital / Very Urgent.

Good Day.
My Name is Paulina O. Umokuhezi I am a very sick person and booked to undergo surgery in France.
I want you to help me claim the sum of $2.6 I inherited from my late husband; I cannot have access to it, because the fund in question is in a fixed deposit account, and meant to remain in the bank for a period of 10 years before I will have access to it.
Because of my illness, I need somebody to claim it from the bank because I will not live to witness the 10 years, all I need is to present you to the bank as the new beneficiary and the agreement will no longer be valid, meaning the bank will release the fund at your request without waiting for the 10 years to elapse.

This is reason why I contacted you, let me know if you can be able to do it and I will provide a legal power of attorney and affidavit change of ownership, for you to claim the fund from the bank.

I am ready to give you $600,000 from the fund, so that I can travel to France to save my life, I am dying and I have spent all the cash I have with me, even sold my gold jewelry, so right now I am stranded.

All I need is your trust and promise that you will send back to me the sum of $2 Million when the fund gets to your account, can I trust you?

I am waiting to hear from you.
Regards,
Mrs. Paulina O. Umokuhezi
