Subject: From:Mrs. Joy Collins Haafkens.
From:Mrs Collins joy Haafkens of Netherlands
I am Mrs Collins joy from Netherlands.
I am married to Dr.Franklyn Haafkens who worked with ChevronTexaco in Nigeria
for twenty
years before he died in the year 2000.We were married for twenty-seven years
without a child.
He died during one of the riot in the Niger delta region of Nigeria.He was
held hostage and
slain to death by protesting youths of the region.
Before his death we were both born again christians.Since his death I decided
not to re-marry .
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (Eight Million six
hundred thousand
U.S.Dollars)with a bank in the Netherlands 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 that this money is invested the proceed at the
end of every year
distributed among charity organisation.
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund churches,orphanages
and
widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is
maintained.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.I took
this decision
because i know that there are alot of poor people suffering from different
kind of disease and
nobody to come to their aid.With God all things are possible. 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.You are to help me invest this funds into real estate and stocks.You
will be entitled to 10%
of every profit you make in a year.
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. Joy Collins Haafkens.
