Subject: Mrs. Mariam Ernestina Catulo ( urgent message)
Sir/Madam
This mail might be seen as a suprise and confusing to you but you must know
that it is real and had to be kept confidentially or erased immediately if
you are not interested or you know deep in your conscience that your are not
capable of handling or respecting its confidentiality.
My name is Mrs Mariam Ernestina Catulo .I come from the Republic of Angola.
I am now 51 years old. I was married to late Mr João Pedro Hassan Catulo who
worked for fifteen years with the Marine de Guerre Angolaise(MGA) founded on
July 10th, 1976 .He was also the Chief of protocol of the chief of general
staff of this branch of Angolan arm forces, l`Amiral Feliciano Dos Santos "
Paxe ". Before he died on the July 28th, 2002. He died after a brief
illness which only lasted four days.Before his death we were both true
devoted Muslims .
We were married for eleven years without children beacause i was diagnosed
to be barren. We later adopted two children,a boy and a girl from the
motherless baby home but unfortunately they both died mysteriously in the
year 2000 and 2002 respectively after they complained of some strange
ailments which the doctors where never able to diagnose.
After the death of my husband I decided not to remarry or do any further
adoption . During the lifetime of my late husband, he deposited the sum of
$6.8 Million American dollars (Six millions Eight hundred thousand American
dollars) in a coded account in a Financial Institution here in Abidjan Ivory
Coast.
To be more truthful, just before his death he revealed to me that this money
was the percentage he received for his involvement and participation in the
diversion of a huge sum of money budgeted by the Angolan Government for the
purchase of military equipments,hardwares and logistics from China and
Russia for the Marine de Guerre Angolaise(MGA) in the beginning of the year
2003 but this was before his conversion to Islam.
I am a religious woman and i wouldn't want wealth acquired in an illegal way
to be an obstacle for me to achieve my spitual goals .
Presently, this fund is still in this Financial Institution. Recently, i got
a very sad and devastating news from my doctor that i am suffering fron a
serious illness BREAST CANCER at a very deteriorating state. The sickness
which disturbs me most is kidney failure and i have been undergoing dialysis
for sometime now. Having known my poor state of health I have decided to
give this fund to a foreign humanitarian organization or a trustworthy
person strictly outside African continent who will use this fund in
accordance to my instructions and directions.
I am now seeking for a foreign humanitarian organization or a trusworthy
person who will invest this funds for the research for the cure of breast
cancer, to assist children suffering from cancer and for other humanitarian
services.
I made this decision because I have no child who could inherit this fund and
unfortunately the relation of my late husband are neither Christians or
Muslims . I do not want the efforts of my late husband to be squandered by
atheists. I wouldn't want a situation where this fund will be used only on
earthly things reasons for which I made this strong decision.
As soon as i receive your response I would send you the contact of this
Financial Institution here in Abidjan. I shall also send you the certificate
of deposit of this fund which will prove to you that I am the actual
beneficially of this fund.
Do contact me through my private email address below for more informations,
please reassure me that you will act in accordances to my above instructions
. Do also send me your personal contact address,including your telephone
number so that i can get back to you.
PLEASE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT SEND ME YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS MY PRIVATE
BOX FOR SECURITY REASONS :- mme.mariam-catulo@post.com
Hoping to hear from you soonest .
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Mariam Ernestina Catulo
