Subject: From Mrs Rama Idris/ URGENT.
FROM: MRS RAMA IDRIS
In Lordship. I am the above named person from Tunisia but
now undergoing medical treatment.
I was married to Dr.Roberts IDRIS who worked with Malaysia
embassy in ABIDJAN
for nine years, before he died in the year 2004. We were
both married for eleven years without children.He died after
a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before
hisdeath we were both very close as husband and wife and
since his death I decided not to re-marry.When my late
husband was alive he deposited the sum of USD15,500,000.00
(Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) with a African Devlopment bank I will send you
details as soon as you indicate your interest.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the
next Six months due to my cancer illness. Having known my
condition and believing the doctor I have decided to donate
this fund to avoid total loss to Less privilege, or better
still an individual that will utilize this money the way I
am going to instruct here in. I want interested firm,or
individual that will receive and use this money to help,
orphanages ,widows and propagating the word of God and to
ensure that the house of God is maintained.Please do not
fail to spread the funds across the globe especially AFRICA
as soon as you receive the money.it is more blessed to give
than to receive. I took this decision because I don't have
any child that will inherit this money and my husband
relatives are fighting over the properties and I don't want
my husband's hard earned money to be misused by their greedy
attitude. 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 since I am a good
person. I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my health, and
because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me
always. I don't want them to know about this development.
With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your
reply I shall give you the contact information of the bank
and other details that will enable you claim the
funds.please i want you to be aware that according to my
attorney there are some important document that will be
required by the bank for the transfer this is where i will
need your little assistance before the fund can be transfer
with the help of my attorney.
I will also issue you a letter of authority/Power of
Attorney that will make you the beneficiary of this fund. I
want you to always pray for me because the lord is my
shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy
Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the GOD must serve
him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all
through your life.please note that 20% as been allocated to
you for your expenses and for your assistance you will
incured in the cursed of carry out this charity work.
As a matter of urgency you should send to me
1)YOUR FULL NAMES
2)YOUR COMPANY OR HOME ADDRESS IF ANY
3)YOUR MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER
4)FAX NUMBER IF ANY
This will enable my pastor attorney to commence work
immedaitely.
I sent you this mail under severe pains. Any delay in your
reply will be detrimental.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly.
Hoping to hear from you immediately.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Mrs. Rama idris.
