Dear One.
I know that this letter may be a very big surprise to you.
=C2=A0=20
I am Mrs. Gloria Caldwell from London, I am 68 years old, i am deaf and=
suffering from a protracted cancer of the breast which has affected my=
brain. From all indication my condition is really deteriorating, and m=
y doctors have courageously advised me that i may not live beyond the n=
ext two months to four months,this is because the cancer stage has reac=
hed a critical stage. I was brought up in a motherless baby=E2=80=99s h=
ome, and was married to my late husband who is from cote d'ivoire for t=
wenty years without a child. My husband and i are true Christians, but =
quite unfortunately, he died in a fatal motor accident.
=C2=A0=C2=A0=20
Since his death i decided not to re-marry, i sold all my inherited belo=
ngings and deposited=C2=A0 the sum of $3.2million dollars in a bank. Pr=
esently, this money is still in their custody, and the management just =
wrote me as the Legitimate beneficiary to come forward to receive the m=
oney after keeping it for so long or rather issue a letter of authoriza=
tion to somebody to receive it on my behalf since i can not come over a=
s a result of my illness.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where i have been undergoin=
g treatment. I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have t=
old me that i have only a few months to live.It is my last wish to see =
that this money is invested in any organisation of your choice and dist=
ributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the moth=
erless baby=E2=80=99s home where i come from and cancer patients as wel=
l. I want your good humanitarian, to also use this money to fund church=
es, orphanages and widows around. I must let you know that this was a v=
ery hard decision, but I had to take a bold step towards this issue bec=
ause i have no further option. I hope you will help see my last wishes =
come true.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact =
of the bank or the full contact of the attorney to the bank=C2=A0 where=
this fund was deposited. I will also issue you a letter of authority w=
hich will prove that you are the new beneficiary of my funds. Please as=
