Subject: My Deepest Care For Mankind!!!
Dear Beloved One.
It is by the grace of God that I see today, as I have not particularly lived
my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my
business. Having known the truth; I had no choice than to do what is lawful
and
just in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness
of God & His Mercies and glory upon my life.
I am Mrs. Rabi Aliu, the wife of Mr. Idris Aliu, I am a citizens of Tunisian.
My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty years before
he died in the year 2004.We were married for ten years without a child.
My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Since
his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial
home, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.5 Million
Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Bank in Europe.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me
as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the
beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will be
CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I
can not come
over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia where I have been undergoing
treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and my
doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my last wish
to see this money distributed to charity
organizations anywhere in the World in helping human race.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility
to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as
the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money, and I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I don't
need any telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless voice
and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to
know about this development.
I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this
funds transferred before my Death.
Remain Blessed.
Your Beloved Sister,
Mrs. Rabi Aliu.
