From: "Mrs. Malissa Pointer" <malissa_pointer@msn.com>
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 16:49:26 +0000
Subject: From 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 marraige is against.When my late husband was
alive he deposited some funds with a Security company in Europe. An exact
amount of 9.5 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 priviladged people.
It is said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision and
want to die by it, i am notafraid 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.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.
Malissa Pointer.
