Dear Friend,

After going through your profile iit pleases me to contact you and to inform you of my desire to go into business with you.

Address your response to my private email ID (villaranfamily2000@jumpy.it)

My name is Madam Villaran. Nenita. A complete citizen of the philippines,widow to the late former minister of finance in Philippine who died on 15th of May 2002.
My husband fell sick and he was flown to France for treatment but later died of ulcer and he has been buried.

I inherited a total sum of 12.3 million dollars from my late husband, this money which is concealed in a metallic trunk box is deposited with a security and finance company here in Philippine. Due to the instruction I laid down before I deposited the box, that I needed maximum security/safety of my consignment and no body nor government organization can trace the where about of the box until I am ready and prepare to claim it. for this reason the security company used their diplomatic means to send the box out of Philippines to Abidjan- Cote d'Ivoire where they have their underground secrete vault.

This deposit was coded under a secret arrangement as a family treasure.This means that the security company does not know the content of this trunk box that was sent from the philippine to Abidjan-Cote d'Ivoire under a diplomatic coverage for safe keeping.

My main purpose of sending you this mail is because of the way I found you and perhaps trustworthy to give you this priorit

From Madam Nenita

Dear Miss Young

Thanks for your email responds confirming your total readiness to help me in this business.and for me to invest with you ,Please i will like you to understand that am limited by my status to handle this on my own,that is the reason i need your help.

To be honest with you, i have already paid for the storage and deposit charges when i deposited the box of money with the security company, you may have to help only for the cost of diplomatic service shipment to your address. You will have to help me in bringing this box of money out of the security company where my Box of money was deposited. That is the must reason why I contacted you because I will not want our family name to be involved all this great transaction for some security reasons of my safety.

All you have to do to make this transaction a true successful venture is to contact the security company and give them your correct safe residential address where you want the box of money to be deliver, then they will use their diplomatic mission to ship the money to your address with immediate effect. When the box of money reach your address, I will give you the key Code Number to open the the box for you to send me some money to arrange for my travelling to meet up the arrival of the box at your address where the box will be delivered.before the death of my husband he warn me that i should not just trust some body that i should build my trust on some body and allow it to grow.

Please I hope there will be utmost confidence in this transaction? as it will benefit both of us because I?m willing to offer you 15% of the money as long as you can assist me soonest, I also mapped out 5% for any of your little expenses that may be incur during the cause of this transaction.

Now all i need you to do is to open the attachment you will see the deposit document the security company gave to my late husband the day he deposited this trunk box so use the information on the document and contact the security company as my late husband foriegn business partner and advice them to ship this trunk box to your country immediately.

Further more when you contact the security company do not let them know that this trunk box contain money because when my late husband deposit this trunk box it deposited is as family belongs this means that the security company does not know the real content of the trunk box.

Just go ahead now and contact the security company you can call them or send them a fax or mail because the work 24hours a day.

Once again thank you for your love and care towards me may God bless you.
Yours
Madam Nenita

Hello,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mail.
In this particular case, we have taken appropriate action against the Yahoo! account in question that was reported for fraudulent activities, as per our Terms of Service (TOS)....

Thank you very mail for writing me.
I am also worried for the delay the trunk box , but anyway i thank God for the sucess of the shipment.

On November 21st, 2005 I received an email from S.P. He told me about a scam involving a lawyer, Mohamed Ahmed, from the Philippines. His passport is very similar to Nenitas. The top page with Nenitas signature is identical. His picture is put on top of Nenitas. The shirt is the same, and they share hair and the left ear!

The scam also included 2 certificates of deposit for $16m. The first one is from "Club 2000 Africa Worldwide". This "freighting agency" does not exist. The name was also used in the Mariam Abacha story.

The consignment number XB50 was also used in the Mariam Abacha story.

This is the second false certificate of deposit:

This document was based on an old (1964) stock certificate. Google found it for me:

The Grand Union Company was a grocery-store chain. It was established in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1872 and was bankrupted in 2001. The shown stock certificate (number 0211869) is for 46 shares of $5 each.

The scammers added "US $16,000,000" and changed the name of the owner.

On January 26, 2006 i received a letter from Cronus about Nenita. Read his story here.

When will we meet Nenita Villaran and her friends again?
