Subject: I NEED YOUR ASSIST VERY URGENT,
Dear Sir/Madam,
I greet you in the Name of GOD. I am MRS NANCY WILLIAMS from South
Africa. I am married to Late MR.JOHNSON WILLIAMS of blessed memory who was
oil explorer in Kuwait and Brunei for fifteen years before he died in
the year 2000.We were married for twelve years without a child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death
we were both devoted to our God and respect other who serves Him. Since
his death, I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid
problems. When my late Husband was alive he Deposited the sum of
$10.5million(Ten Million, Five Hundred thousand U.S Dollars) in a Security Company
in Singapore. The money was deposited as Family Valuables/Treasure for
security and family reasons. Recently, my doctor told me that I have less
than three months to live due to my cancer problem, and this lead to a
stroke attack which bother me most though because I cannot move as I use
to.Having known my condition, I decided to entrust this fund to either a
philanthropic organization or devoted individual that will utilize this
money the way I am going to instruct herein. 30% of the US$10.5million
(US$3.150 million) goes to you to ensure that you are prepared for the
task ahead, 60% of the US$10.5million (US$6.300 million) will be used
in all sincerity to fund philanthropic organization,orphanages, widows
and 5% of the will go to the family Attorney who will prepare the
Authorization and the balance 5% sent to me to at least to prepare for my
funeral and off-set my medical bills.
I am taking this decision because I don't have any child or devoted relations whose behavior has left much to be desired while I am ill and above all,I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unGodly manner, hence this bold decision.Since my health is Retrogressing by the minute, you will have to send your POSTAL ADDRESS, CONTACT PHONE NUMBER AND FAX and a little details about yourself, because I got your address from the internet after a thorough search.
As soon as I receive this information from you, I will make arrangement
to prepare the Authorization through the family Attorney for you to
get Possession of the Deposit. As soon as I receive your reply to my
confidential email address:( nan_williams222@yahoo.com.sg ) and the
authorization is given to you by me, I will give you the name and contact of the
Deposit Security Company where the money was deposited in Singapore, for
claims to the funds. Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring
you and your family good tiding while my dreams to help Humanity rest
squarely on your shoulders. May the Almighty God continue to guide and
protect you.
Remain Blessed.
MRS NANCY WILLIAMS
