Dear Friend,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die
someday. My name is Susan Brookes I am 70 years of age and a citizen of The United States Of America
but presently reside in London. I have been diagnosed with cancer of the Lungs for six years. It
has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have less than three months to live
according to medical experts. This is because the cancer has gotten to a very critical state. I was
married to Late Frank Brooks of blessed memory who was an oil consultant in Kuwait for twelve years
before he died in the year 2002. We were married for thirty-seven years without a child. He died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. Shortly Before his death, we became devoted
Christians and since his death I have been battling with both Cancer and Breathing problems.
Though we got very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my
business as that was the only thing I cared for. Having known my condition now, I regret all these,
as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way
from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have selected you after visiting various
Domains and this was pre-empted as after giving out a lot of property and assets to my immediate and
extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept
my soul so, I have decided to give all that i have to charity organizations, as I want this to be one
of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in
various parts of the world.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked some
close associate, to close one of my accounts and distribute the money, which I had there to a charity
organization in Bulgaria and Germany, rather they kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust
them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.
The last of our acquired Wealth which no one knows of is this cash deposit of Nine million five hundred
thousand dollars ($9,500,000) that is presently with a private deposit vault in Europe, and because of
the advantage people had taken on me, this has pre-empted me for this bold decision to entrust you
with the project of having custody of this fund for charity, while you should use you initiative to
reward yourself judiciously from the fund. I am sorry if i cannot talk with you on phone as i
am on my sick bed with my laptop where i have had this mail sent to you with the help of my nurse who
writes while i direct her. I know that after death I will be with My God the most merciful and most high
that all things are possible with.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact information of an Attorney who will
coordinate this project by giving it all the necessary legal back up, thereby authorizing the
private vault to let you have custody of the deposited funds, as i have made the decision that
they be donated to you for charity.
Thank you very much for taking out your time to read my mail, as i look forward to your reply for
further coordinates. until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.
May the Almighty God be there in all that concerns you.
Yours sincerely
Mother Susan Brooks
