Subject: URGENT - HELP ME DISTRIBUTE MY $6 (SIX MILLION) TO HUMANITARIAN
URGENT - HELP ME DISTRIBUTE MY $6 (SIX MILLION) TO HUMANITARIAN
This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as
unserious could come into your mind but please consider it a divine wish and
accept it with a deep sense of humility. I am Mary Celina Jocie and I am a
61 years old woman. I am a South African. I was the President/CEO of CON OIL
INTERNATIONAL -an oil servicing company in Johannesburg. I was also married
with no child. My husband died 3years ago.
Before this happened my business and concern for making money was all I was
living for and I never really cared about other people. But since the loss
of my Husband and also because I had have no child to call my own, I have
found a new desire to assist the helpless.
I have been helping orphans in orphanages/motherless homes/humanitarians. I
have donated some money to orphans in Sudan, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Spain,
Austria, Germany and some Asian countries. IN SUMMARY: - I have 6,000,000.00
(six million) U. S. Dollars and I want you to assist me in distributing the
money to charity organizations.
I agree to reward you with part of the money for your assistance, kindness
and participation in this Godly project. Before I became ill, I kept $6
Million in a long-term deposit account in a bank in Republic of Benin, I am
in the hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for oesophageal
cancer and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live. It
is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations.
Because my 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. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help
me collect the $6 Million and the interest accrued on the deposit from the
Bank and distributes it amongst charity organizations. You are at liberty to
use your discretion to distribute the money and feel free as well to
reimburse yourself when you have the money for any expenses and distributing
the money to charity organizations. I am willing to reward you for your
assistance and kindness. Expedite action and contact me via email.
May the good Lord bless you and your family.
Best Regards,
Mary Celina Jocie
