After the ransom they demand was paid and still they killed him.
I am writing you due to what I have suffered here by my late husband’s family in connection with the government because his only brother’s wife is a relation to the Vice president of Argentina. The brother asked me for all the assets of my late husband for him to be in charge which I refused but was forcefully taken away from me leaving me with nothing and these lead to my rejection and attempted murder on my life which made me to run away with my daughter and came into hiding.
Before my late husband died he deposited some money in offshore accounts and Security Company which in one of the security companies he deposited $8.5 M USD which is in a trunk box, also in the box there are documents of financial assets worth millions and also diamond.

There a film on youtube where a software company (I think) genuinely offer a load of cash if someone responds to their email, written in classic Nigerianesque style. Someone does and they get the cash, it's hilarious and they interview the recipient who explains why they responded, worth a look..
This looks 100% bone fide, I just feel sorry for the poor girl, rotten luck, but for the grace of God.

Got this one today ----
"My Dear Friend,
Good day, I implore you to take the time to go through this mail carefully as the decision you make will go a long way to determine my future and continued existence.
Mike Cody is my name, I am a US marine. I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you.
I am presently in Iraq and I am seeking your assistance to evacuate funds to you once I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here.
This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.
SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies was discovered and concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunition
at a location near one of Saddam Hussein's old Presidential Palaces during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.

This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what?
No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hellhole.
The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a British contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity)
I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid,
who before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative.
I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up. I do not know for how long I will remain here, as I have been lucky to survive 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention.
This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then endeavor to contact me and we would work out the necessary formalities but I pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.
Respectfully,
Sgt. Mike Cody."
I really think I should help, as I seems so genuine..
