Subject: From Mrs.Tiffany Scott
From Mrs.Tiffany Scott,
Please forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise I
got your contact from a database found in internet while searching for a
reliable and honest person that will assist me to execute a divine project.I
was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names found in the
Internet database. After series of prayers and fasting for God's direction.
I am Mrs.Tiffany Scott a citizen of Georgia undergoing currently medical
treatment. I am married to Dr.Andrew.G.Scott who worked with the France
Embassy in Georgia for nine years before he died in the year 2000.We were
married for eleven 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
$3.6Million (Three Million six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with a
finance/security company in Europe.The money is inside a box,nobody knew
that the box contained money apart from me and my late husband, the box was
deposited as Photographic Material.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.Recently, my Doctor
told me that I would not live for the next three months due to my cancer
problem. Though what disturbs me most is my disability to move around which
is a partial paralysis. Having known my condition I decided to donate this
fund to help the dissabilities centre , widows,homeless,church or better
still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am
going to instruct herein.
I want a church or individual beneficiary that will inherit this to use it
for churches , orphanages and widows,dissabilities centre , widows,homeless
and propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is
beautified. They said blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision
because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my
husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard
earned money to be mis-used by unbelievers.
I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly
manner,hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of
death because I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the
bossom of my Saviour.
If you will be of assistance, I will surely appreciate and thank you for
your kindness in giving me this help.
Please get back to me at my private email address:tiffany4gscott@hotmail.com
Waiting for your urgent response.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Tiffany Scott
