Subject: FROM MADAM
Dear Greetings in the name of the Lord,
I am Mrs Caroline John Norman from Holland.I am married to Dr.John Norman of
united state who worked with Chevron Texaco as oil consultant/contractor in
Africa for twenty years before he died in the year 2000.We were married for
twenty-seven years without a child.
He died during one of the riot in the Niger delta region .He was held
hostage and slain to death by protesting youths of the region .Since his
death I decided not to re-marry . When my late husband was alive he made a
numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at
$8m.usd (Eight Million U.S.Dollars) with account and pin/code number
0130648335800. with a security financial firm in Europe. Meanwhile, this
money is still with the financial company 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 .
Presently,I am 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 the proceed at the end of every year
distributed among charity organisations. I want you being God's fearing
person
that will use this money to fund churchs, muslim centers, orphanages and
widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is
maintained. But if I survive from this illness we will use the rest of the
money for a joint business in your country and if I die, the money becomes
yours in all.
The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.I took
this decision because I know that there are a lot of poor people suffering
from different kind of disease and nobody to come to their aid. With God all
things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the
contact of the financial security company in eruope. I will also issue you a
letter of authority that will prove you as my beneficiary of this fund.You
are to help me invest this funds into real estate and stocks.
You will be entitled to 40% of every profit you make in a year.Please assure
me that you will actaccordingly as I stated here in. Hoping tohearing from
you soon. Please reply to this carolinejohnnorman@yahoo.com
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Caroline John Norman
