Subject: REPLY SOONEST
DEAR,FRIENDS I know this letter will come as a surprise to you, but i would like you to give it a top consideration so as to help me. from my present condition.
I am mrs mary. I am married to Dr.Rowland
mustafa who worked with canada Embassy in dubai for nine years
before he died in the year 2000.We were married for eleven for years without
a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again christians.Since his death I
decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was
alive he deposited the sum of (Four Million six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars)with
a commercial bank in the DUBAI
Presently, this money is still with the bank and the management just
wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive
the money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody
to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.
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 this money distributed to charity
organizations. 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 collect the deposit and the interest accrued from the
bank and distribute it accordingly.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the
church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. whoever that
wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please
always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay
in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this
same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
waiting for your reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Mary mustafa
