Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
Greetings in the name of God,Pls let this not sound strange
to you for my only surviving lawyer who would have done
this died early this year.i prayed and got you email id from
your country's chambers of commerce which i have been with
my late husband and liked to visit once more if God will in
his infinite mercies.
I am Mrs Hellin Danz,I am 51 years old,i am deaf and
suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also
affected my brain,from all indication my conditions is
really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that, according
to my doctors they have advised me that i may not live for
the next two months,this is because the cancer stage has
gotten to a very bad stage.
I was brought up from a motherless babies home, was married
to my late husband for twenty years without a child.My
husband died in a fatal motor accident.Before his death we
were true Christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited
all the sum of $12.8million dollars with a Security Company.
Presently, this money is still with them and the management
just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive
the money for keeping it so long or rather issue a letter of
authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I
can not come over because of my illness or they get it
confisticated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have
been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have
since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me
that I have only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any
organization of your choice and distributed each year among
the charity organization,the poor and the motherless babies
home where i come from.I want a God fearing, to also use
this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows.
Please upon the receipt of this mail message, send to me the
following, to enable start the process of the fund into your
bank account:
1. Your full Name.
2. Your private Telephone and fax numbers.
3 Your Addresses.
I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time
will soon be up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of the Security Company.
I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove
you as the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that
you will act accordingly as I stated here in. Hoping to
hearing from you soon. Waiting for your reply.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Hellin Danz.
