DEAR FRIEND.
MY DEAR FRIEND,YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISE TO RECEIVE THIS MY MAIL MESSAGE TO YOU . I WAS MARRIED TO DR.JOHNSON BROWN WHO WORKED WITH CHEVRON-TEXACO IN NIGERIA FOR TWENTY YEARS BEFORE HE DIED IN THE YEAR 2000, MAYBE YOU MUST HAVE HEARD ABOUT HIM IN THE OIL FIRM. WE WERE MARRIED FOR THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS WITHOUT A CHILD . AS YOU WILL LIKE TO KNOW THAT NIGERIA IS A RICH COUNTRY, FOR THEY ARE IN THE SIXTH POSITION IN THE WORLD AS OIL PRODUCING NATION . HE DIED DURING ONE OF THE RIOTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN NIGER DELTA REGION WHERE THE OIL IS PRODUCED.HE WAS HELD HOSTAGE AND SLAIN TO DEATH BY PROTESTING YOUTHS OF THE REGION.
BEFORE HIS DEATH WE WERE BOTH GOD FEARING AND BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS,SINCE,AFTER HIS DEATH I DECIDED NOT TO RE-MARRY . WHEN MY LATE HUSBAND WAS ALIVE HE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF $9,500,000.00 USD (NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ONLY) WITH A SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN NIGERIA WHICH HAS A BRANCH OFFICES IN EUROPE.
PRESENTLY,THIS MONEY IS STILL WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY AND THE MANAGEMENT JUST WROTE ME AS THE BENEFICIARY TO COME FORWARD TO RECEIVE THE LUGGUAGES (BOXES) OR I SHOULD ISSUE A LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION TO SOMEONE ON MY BEHALF IF I CAN NOT COME OVER .
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 SOME FEW MONTHS TO LIVE.IT IS MY WISH TO SEE THAT THIS MONEY IS INVESTED,THE PROFITS AT THE END OF EVERY YEAR SHARED AND DISTRIBUTED TO CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS.
I AM LOOKING FOR A TRUSTWORTHY AND GOD FEARING PERSON WHO WILL USE THIS MONEY TO FUND CHURCHES,MOSQUE,ORPHANAGES AND WIDOWS PROPAGATING THE WORD OF GOD AND TO ENSURE THAT THE HOUSE OF GOD IS MAINTAINED . I TOOK THIS DECISION BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF POOR PEOPLE SUFFERING OUT THERE FROM DIFFERENT KINDS OF DISEASES AND NOBODY TO COME TO THEIR AID.
AS SOON AS I RECEIVE YOUR REPLY I SHALL GIVE YOU THE CONTACT OF THE SECURITY COMPANY. YOU WILL INVEST THIS MONEY IN REAL ESTATE AND STOCKS,FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO 10% OF EVERY PROFIT YOU MAKE IN A YEAR.
NOTE: THAT, THE MONEY WAS DEPOSITED TO THE SECURITY COMPANY AS A PRESIDENTIAL LOGGUAGES AS (CONSIGNMENT) IN A TRUNK BOX . IT IS ONLY MY LATE HUSBAND AND HIS SPECIAL ASSISTANCE THAT KNOWS WHAT IS INSIDE THE BOX FOR THE DIRECTORS AND STAFFS IN THE SECURITY COMPANY ARE NOT AWARE OF IT.
HOPING TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON.
THANKS AND REMAIN BLESS.
MRS.KATE JOHNSON BROWN .
