Dear Friend,
From_Mrs.Luz Stella,
Hello my dear friend forgive my indignation if this
message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your
personality for contacting you without your prior
consent and writing through this channel.I got your
contact from a proffesional database found on the internet
while searching for a reliable and honest person that
will assist us safeguard fund into an account.I was
divinely inspired to pick your?name among other names
found in the database after series of prayers/fasting for Gods
direction.

I am Mrs.Luz Stella Castillo Taborda. person from
Colombia undergoing?medical treatment. I was
married?to Dr. Castillo Tarboda who worked with Malaysia embassy in
South?Africa for nine years before he died in the year2000.We were married for
twenty 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.When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of$10.6 (Ten Million
six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars)with one finance/security
company in EUROPE.Presently,this money is still with
the Security Company.Recently,my Doctor told me that I
have?six months to live as I am terminally ill with
cancer.Though what disturbs me most is my partial
paralysis. Having known my condition I decided to
donate this fund to a church/mosque or better still a
Christian/Moslem individual that will utilize this
money the way I am going to instruct here in.

I want a church/Mosque or individual that will use
this to fund?churches/Mosque,orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the
house of God is maintained.They said blessed is the
hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't 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 don't 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 hence I know where
I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom
of God.If you will be of assistance.I will surely
appreciate and reward you for your kindness in
rendering help to a dying woman. I await for your urgent response.
Thank you and God bless.

Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Luz Stella Castillo Taborda
