Date: Sat, 01 Oct 2005 13:22:49 +0000
Subject: From Malissa
Dearly friend
It is by the grace of the Lord that I send you this Letter, having
known the truth, I have no choice than to do what is lawful and right inthe
sight of the Lord for eternal life and in the sight of man for theWitness of
God's mercy and glory upon my life.
By way of introduction I am Mrs. Malissa Pointer the wife of Mr.
HarryPointer.
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 forten
years without a child. My Husband died after a brief illness thatlasted for
only four days. Before his death we were both born againchristians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a Child outside my
matrimonial home which my religion is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US $9.5M.
(NineMillion Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Security company
inEurope.
The funds where deposited as family valuables / treasures for
securityreasons. 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 andmy
doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is mylast wish
to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere in the
World. Because relatives and friends have plundered so muchof my wealth
sincemy illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this
hugeresponsibility to any of them for personal reasons.
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand and collect the
Funds from the security company
I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to
ensurethat the house of God is maintained.
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 know that I
am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me alwaysjust
for the fact that they want to lay claims to the funds they knownothing
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 inlaying
claims for these funds.
I would advise strictly here that you contact me via my alternate
emailaddress Malissapointer11uk2.net for personal reasons as i feel
moresecured with the email account to make this whole affair discrete.
Yours Ever.
Malissa Pointer.
N.b pls contact me via my personal email account
Malissapointer11uk2.netif you find it in your heart to be of help.
