From: "Maria Hobert" <mercy4maria@hotmail.com>
Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 11:10:25 +0100
Subject: THE LOR 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 2003.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
