Subject: hello my dear
Greetings in the name of God,Pls let this not sound strange to you for
my only surviving lawyer who would have done this died early this year.
i prayed and got you email id from your countrys christian guestbook which i
have been with my late huband and liked to visit once more if God will in
his infinite mercies.
I am Mrs. Mabel Nora from Netherlands,I am 58 years old,i am deaf and
suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my
brain,from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is
quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may
not live for the next two months,this is because the cancer stage has gotten
to a very bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless babies home was
married to my late husband for twenty years without a child ,died in a fatal
motor accident Before his death we were true Christians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited belongings
and deposited all the sum of $3.5million dollars with a Security Company.
Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote
me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so
long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on
my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it
confisticated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. I have since lost my ability
to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any
organisation of your choice and distributed each year among the charity
organization,the poor and the motherless babies home where i come from.
I want you God fearing, to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages
and widows,I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will
soon be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
Security Company.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
prove you as the new beneficiary of my fund. Please assure me that you will
act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you soon.
Waiting for your reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Mabel Nora
