Dear Sir,

This letter is not intended to to cause any embarrassment but just
to contact your esteem self-following the knowledge of your high
repute and trustworthiness.

Previous to the sudden collapse of my husband Darl McBride, the
late CEO of the Santa Cruz Operation, Inc in June 2003, I have been
thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness
by the present civilian administration, As a widow that is so
traumatized, I have lost confidence with anybody within the country.

You must have heard over the media reports and the internet on the
recovery of various huge sums of money deposited by my husband in
different sells of stock shares in his company. I got your contacts
through my personal research, and out of desperation decided to
reach you through this medium. I will give you more information as
to this regard as soon as you reply.
