Dear Sir/Madam,
I am the above named person from sweden. I am married to Dr. mark
morgan, who worked with swedish embassy in Nigeria.for nine years before he
died in the year 2003. 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 divoted 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 $8 Million (eight Million U.S.Dollars) in a
finance company. Presently, this
money is still under the safe keeping of the finance company here in
Nigeria.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months
due to my cancer
problems.
Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to charitable
home or to a reliable individual that will utilize this money the way I
am going to instruct
herein. I want a person that will use this fund on orphanages and
widows propagating the word of almighty God .I took this decision because I
don't have any child
that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not
trustworthy and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by
them. I don't want a
situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the
reasons for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I
know where I am going. I
don't need any telephone communication in this regard atlist for now
because of my health, since my husband's relatives are always around me.
I dont want them to know about this development. With God all things
are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I will forward your
personal information to the finance company
here in Nigeria.so that they will contact you as the legal owner of
this fund before releasing the fund into your account. I will also issue
you a letter of authority that will empower you as the
original-beneficiary of this fund.
Delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another reliable
individual for this same purpose.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.
Remain blessed
Mrs.Grace Morgan
