Beloved In Christ,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, I am Mrs Tutu Nwaoko, a widow to Late
Edward Nwaoko, I am 62years old, I am now a new
Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of
the breast.From all indications, my condition is
serious and according to my doctor it is quite obvious
that I may not survive the sickness,although as a
christain,I beleive God and I know that I will not
die,I will live to declare the glory of God. My late
husband and my only son were killed during the Ogoni
Crisis some years back and I am presently Leaving
with some domestic staffers,Our Lord Jesus Christ
is my comforter.


I have the sum of $25,000,000.(Twenty Five million
US Dollars)The fund is in cash, packaged in
consignments deposited with a Security Company for
safety and security reasons Presently all the
documents concerning the consignments are with my
lawyer.Now that my sickness has gone to this stage,I
am scared i might die any time therefore wish that the
fund be used to the glory of God .This money is the
procceed from the sale of properties and shares and
physical cash i inherited from my late husband.
I have prayed and I told God to direct me to an honest
christian who will receive this fund and utilise it for
things that will glorify the name of God.
After my prayers,I searched the christain sites in the
internet,I found your email address and I decided to
contact you.Please if you are honest and faithful enough
to use this fund strictly for the work of
God,please get back to me to enable my
lawyer for immediate arrangement with the security
company on how the consignments that
contained the fund will be delivered to you.


Thanks and God bless you while waiting to hear from you.You
can still write me through my alternate email address:
tnwaoko1@personal.ro

Mrs Tutu Nwaoko
