Attn Dear Greetings.
I am Mrs Caroline John Norman from Holland.I am married to Dr.John Norman
of united state who worked with Chevron Texaco as oil consultant/contractor
in Africa 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 .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 made a numbered time
(Fixed) deposited for twelve calendarmonths, valued at calendarmonths, valued
at $8m.usd (Eight Million U.S.Dollars)with account number 0130648335800.
bank in Amsterdam Holland.
Meanwhile, 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 yeardistributed 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
40% of every profit you make in a year.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.send your
reply to ugomsjo@yahoo.com
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Caroline John Norman.
