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 us receive a fund into an
account. I was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names found
in the Internet database. After series of prayers and fasting for Gods
direction. I am Mrs. Stella Castillo Taborda a citizen of Colombia
undergoing currently medical treatment. I am married to Dr. Castillo Taborda
who worked with the Malaysia Embassy in South Africa for nine years before
he died in the year 2000. We have an only child presently residing in the
Netherlands, he can confirm my story. When my late husband was alive he
deposited the sum of $18.3 Million (Eighteen Million Three Hundred Thousand
U.S.Dollars) with a finance/security company in EUROPE. The money is inside
one trunk box, but nobody knew that the box contained money apart from me
and my late husband, the box was
deposited as Photographic Materials. Presently, this money is still with the
Security Company. This is purely for confidential and security reasons
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 partial paralysis. Having known my condition I decided
to donate part of this fund to a church or a mosque or better still a
Christian or a Moslem individual that will utilize this money for charity
works. I want a church or Mosque or the individual beneficiary that will
inherit this to use it for churches or Mosque orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is
beautified. My child would have handled this but he is not to be trusted and
would not use it for the purpose I want it used but he will be entitled to
30% of this money after claiming it. They said blessed is the hand that
giveth. I took this decision because I
don't
want my husband's hard earned money to be misused 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
Savior. 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. On your response I will
send all relevant documents pertaining to this deposit to enable you travel
and make this claim.You can reach me on this other

Thank you and God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Stella Castillo Taborda
