Subject: I do hope you read this message.
Hello My Dear,
Please forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a
surprise I got your contact from a database found in internet while
searching
for a reliable and honest person that will assist me in my quest to set
up an NGO in your country that the less privileged people will benefit
from. I was divinely inspired to pick your contact email Address among
other contacts found in the Internet database. After series of prayers
and fasting for God’s direction.
I am Mrs. Stella Castillo a citizen of Columbia currently
undergoing medical treatment. I am married to Dr. Castillo Taborda who
worked with the Malaysian Embassy in South Africa 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 born again Christians. Since his death I decided
not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the
Bible is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $15 Million
(Fifteen million U.S$ Dollars) with a Finance/Security company in EUROPE.
The money is inside one trunk box, but nobody knows that the box
contains money apart from my late husband and me; the box was deposited as
Photographic Materials and personal effects. Presently, this money is
still with the Security & Finance Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not live for the next three
months due to my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my
disability to move around which is a partial paralysis. Having known my
condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or better still a
Christian or an individual that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct herein. I want a church or an individual that will inherit
this fund, to use it in funding orphanages and widows home and also a
foundation that the less privileged will benefit from and propagating the
word of God and to ensure that the house of God is beautified.
They said blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because
I do not 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 miss-used by unbelievers. I do not 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 because I know where I am
going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of my Saviour.
If you feel you are worthy enough to make yourself available in this
project, let me know immediately you read my mail. GOD will surely
provide for you the power and strength to accomplish this. All things work
together for good for those who love GOD. Waiting for your urgent
response. I do not need any telephone conversation in this regard because of
my health, and because of the presence of my husband's relatives who are
always around me. I do not want them to know about this development.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Stella Castillo.
