From: "Mrs. Malissa Pointer" <malissamail@msn.com>
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2005 23:27:18 +0000
Subject: From Mrs. Malissa Pointer,
Dearly Beloved,
It is by faith I send you this mail, 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 my opinion of marriage is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited some funds with a Security company in Europe. An exact amount of 9.5 million United States Dollars
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.
I ask you to help me stand to collect the Funds from the security company.
I pray to find a responsible person with honour that will use this money to fund orphanages and widows and the less privileged people.
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. 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 have to go now.
Yours Ever.
Mrs. Malissa Pointer.
Please do refer to my private email malissapointer@gmail.com for personal reasons I stated above.
