From: "Maria Hobert" <maria_hobert200@hotmail.com>
Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2006 10:35:08 +0100
Subject: GOD BE WITH YOU.
Dear Beloved in Christ,
It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,knowing the truth and the
truth have set me free.Having known the truth, I had no choice than to do
what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the
sight of man for witness of God´s mercy and glory upon my life. I am Mrs
Maria Hobert from Spain.I am married to Dr.John Hobert who worked with
Chevron/Texaco in Nigeria for twenty years before he died in the year
2002.We were married for twenty-seven years without a child.He was held
hostage and slain to death by protesting youths of the region. Before his
death we were both born again christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry.
When my late husband was alive he deposited 1 million US dollars with a bank
in Nigeria. Presently, this money is still with the bank and the management
just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or
rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive it on my
behalf if I can not come over. 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 hear well 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 and at the end of every year distributed among charity
organisation,churches and orphanage home. 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 ensure that the house of God is
maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that
giveth. I took this decision because i know that there are alot of poor
people suffering from different kind of disease and nobody to come to their
aid. With God all things are possible.
If you know truthfully that you can do exactly what i wish to use this money
to do,Please write me back with your full name and phone number.
I want somebody that will use this fund for the service of God and humanity.
If you can honestly,do this that i request,I will be glad to hand you over
the said 1 million dollars.
I hope to hear from you.

Remain Blessed.
[Mrs] MARIA HOBERT
