I am a Russian widow trapped in Ukraine's Donbass region amid Vladimir
Putin's senseless conflict. During the 2014 battle in the Donbass, I
lost my husband, a prominent Ukrainian businessman, who died without
having children with me. I am currently in an underground bunker in
Donetsk Oblast, a separatist war zone recognized by Russian President
Vladimir Putin. I urgently request your assistance in moving my family
trust fund worth £3,500,000.00 from the UK to your country to prevent
European Union sanctions from seizing my money because I am a Russian
citizen.
Please help me save and protect this money. You will receive 30% of
the total money as a reward for your efforts, while you must keep 70%
for me until the conflict is over. For more information, you can
contact me directly at (scam email address omitted.
Of course I'm going to jump on this to help this poor widow . . .
