From: "Mrs. Malissa Pointer" <malissapointer22@msn.com>
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 03:29:29 +0000
Subject: It's Malissa Pointer.
Dearly Beloved
It is by the faith that I send you this Letter, having known the truth, I
have no choice than to do what is lawful and right.
By way of introduction I am Mrs. Malissa Pointer the wife of Mr. Harry
Pointer.My husband worked in his life time with the Chevron / Texaco in
Kenya for Fifteen years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for
ten years without a child. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted
for only four days.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a Child outside my
matrimonial home which my religion and personal belief is against. When my
late husband was alive he deposited funds with a Security company in Europe.
The funds where deposited as family valuables / treasures for security
reasons. Hence they are not aware of the real contents of the
consignment.Presently, I'm in a hospital in Kenya where I have been
undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to
talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations
any where in the World. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much
of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting
this huge responsibility to any of them for personal reasons.I ask you here
to Stand and collect the Funds from the security company on my behalf.
I want a responsible person who will use this money to fund orphanages and
widows and the physically challanged.
It is said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision
because I don't have any child that will inherit this money.I am not afraid
of death hence I know where I am going.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always just
for the fact that they want to lay claims to the funds they know nothing
about.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 of a
representative who is in Europe as he will be the one to assist you in
laying claims for these funds.I would advise strictly here that you contact
me via my alternate email address malissapointer1@uk2.net
for personal reasons as i feel more secured with the email account to make
this whole affair discrete.
Yours Ever.
Malissa Pointer.
N.b pls contact me via my personal email account malissapointer1@uk2.net if
you find it in your heart to be of help.
