Subject: CONSIDERATION
Dearest in the Lord , i am Greeting you in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
I know my email to you is a shock, but let me introduce myself, am Mrs. Hajia Al-meena Bolkiah now Mrs. Aminatu Bolkiah,a new Christian convert of 47 years old, i recieved the sacrament of baptism from a Christian denomination shortly after the death of my husband. For quite a number of years now, i have been suffering from cancer of the breast and fibroid of the womb and from all indications ,my condition is deteriorating by day that i won't live more than six months from now as predicted by the doctors.
My husband who is now late, was killed during the US raid against
terrorism in Afghanistan. Throughout the period of my marriage with my
husband, all efforts to bear children proved abortive because of my
poor state of health. My husband was a very wealthy man throughout his life. After his death,i inherited all his businesses and wealth. Since it is now obvious that i may not survive my poor state of health, i have deemed it necessary to leave a legacy on Earth and give a positive account and justification of the life i lived on Earth before the Lord. This i want to achieve by committing part of this wealth to the development of churches and the upbringing of the less privileged people.
I am willing to donate a sum of $ 15,000,000.00 ( $15m ) for the church and less privileged in your country. But, note that this sum was securely deposited in a security Vault company in overseas as the next of Kin to my late husband . Although i have not discussed with Bar. Alfred Waheed Shalakany the possibility of securing a partner for the project, but i have informed him to stand by and wait for my instruction to release the document to the partner i will secure and introduce to him soon.
The lawyer is presently in Iraq on some mission of monitoring the restoration of peace and democracy there. Immediately he arrives from his trip i will get him introduce to you, as i honestly pray that this money if and when released to you is judiciously used for the said purpose as i will instruct the lawyer to set aside 20% of the "Family Valuables " for your acceptance to do this corporal work of mercy. This is because i have come to realise that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity upon vanity. Please, get back to me immediately for further elaborations. May the almighty Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the true fellowship of the holy spirit be with you and your family.
Yours in Christ.
Mrs. Aminatu Bolkiah
