Subject: URGENT HELP !!!
My Dearest,
May GOD be praised !!!
I am Mrs. Sandra Bello, I am married to Alhaij Ahmed Bello of blessed
memory who worked with Kuwait embassy in Maldrid Spain 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 only four
days.
Before his death he was a very devoted Muslim and I was a devoted Christian
by birth battling with both cancer and fibroid problems when my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of $12million dollars (TWELVE million
dollars) with a security firm Presently, this money is still with firm and
Recently, my doctor told me that I had a terminating illness (cancer) that
would last for the next four months. Though what disturbs me most is my
stroke sickness, having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to
either a Christian or Muslim organization or individual that will utilize
this
money the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want this organization or individual to use this money in all sincerity to
fund churches, mosques, orphanages, widows and also propagating the word of
God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy
book The holy book emphasized so much on the giving of alms, charity and
this has encouraged me in taking this bold step. I took this decision
because I don't have any child to start from and where I will stop and I
don't want my husband hard earned money to be misused by people that call me
an unbeliever.I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an
unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I know that
after death I will be with God the most high and the most merciful one. I
don't need any telephone communications but will only give you the contact
of my lawyer Barr: Sheriff Williams because he is the one who is going to
assist you in making you the beneficiary of the consignment in the finance
and security firm. With God, I know that all thing are possible and as soon
as I receive your reply through my lawyer I will now give him instruction to
make you the beneficiary of the consignment and all necessary steps to take
before receiving these funds and I shall also give you the contact of the
bank I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the
original beneficiary of the funds.
I want you and the community where you reside to always pray for me. My
happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted person though married to
a Muslim, whoever that wants to serve God must serve him in truth and in
spirit, please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your
reply will give me room in sourcing for another person organization or a
devoted person for the same purpose. Until I hear from you my dreams will
rest squarely on your shoulders, may the Almighty God continue to guide and
protect you. Amen.Reply to: mrssandrabello@walla.com
Yours faithfully,
MRS. SANDRA BELLO.
NB: BARRISTER SHERIFF HAS BEEN A LONGTIME FRIEND OF THE FAMILY AND I CAN
VOUCH FOR HIS SINCERITY.
