Dear Friend
Greetings to you in the most wonderful name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
His richest blessings shall be upon you forever. I am sister Florince Maitama
christ ,I am 51 years old from South Africa, i am deaf and suffering from a long
time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my brain,i am currently in a specialist
hospital in spain madrid , from all indication my conditions is really deteriorating
and it is quite obvious that, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may
not live for the next two months,this is because the cancer stage has gotten to avery
bad stage. I was brought up from a motherless babies home, was married to my late husband
for twenty years without a child.My husband died in a fatal motor accident.Before his
death we were true Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry,I sold all my
inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of $21.5million dollars with a Security
Company. Presently, this money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the
true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long or rather issue a l
etter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over
because of my illness or they get it confisticated. Presently, I'm with my laptop in the
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 to any organisation of your choice
and distributed each year among the charity organization,the poor and the motherless babies
home where i come from.I want you God fearing, to also use this money to fund churches,
orphanages and widows. I took this decision, before i rest in peace because my time will soon
be up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company.
I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of my
fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. I shall wait at your
prayerful reply. Thanking you in His precious name.
Yours in His Service
Sister Florince Maitama
