Hello Sir/Madam,
Please forgive me if this message comes to you as a
surprise I was divinely inspired to pick your name
among other names found in the Internet database,
after series of prayers or Gods direction.
I am Mrs. Stella Castillo Taborda a citizen of
Colombia. I was a farmer by profession.But currently
undergoing medical treatment. I was married to Dr.
Castillo Taborda who worked with the Malaysia Embassy
in South Africa for nine years. We went on vacation to
India when the Tsunami incidences happen. My husband
died and till now we have not been able to recover his
body. We have been married for eleven years without a
child.
However, before we went on this Vacation, my late
husband deposited the sum money with a deposit firm in
Europe, But nobody knew about the money apart from me
and my late husband. Last week, my Doctor told me that
I would not live for the next three months due to my
concer of the heart problem which sparked off as a
result of the Tsunami incidence and the death of my
husband whom I have loved so much. Though what
disturbs me most is my disability to move around due
to a partial paralysis. Having known my condition I
decided to donate this fund to a church or a mosque or
better still a Christian or a Moslem individual that
will utilize this money for charity also the way I am
going to instruct herein. I want a church or Mosque or
the individual beneficiary that will inherit this to
use it for churches or Mosque orphanages. Also for the
victims that survive the Tsunami incidence.
I took this decision because I do not have any child
that will inherit this money and my husband's and I
don't want my husband's hard earned money to be
mis-used. 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 that I am going to die one day.
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
Waiting for your urgent response. Please forward your
response to this email stella_luz02@yahoo.de because
I find it very easy to access.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Luz Stella Castillo Taborda.
