Subject: PLEASE LET ME KNOW
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 in 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 Tarboda. 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 year
2000.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,and also give
some to the tsunami victims in asia and also for 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 Tarboda.
