ENDEAVOR TO READ AND REPLY
Beloved one,
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 your email address from your country’s chambers of commerce,
which I have been with my late husband and liked to visit once more if God
will in hisinfinite mercies, grant me the opportunity.
I am Mrs. Elizabeth Gbangbala, I am 51 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. My husband 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 $12.6million 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 organization 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. Elizabeth Gbangbala.
