Subject: CRY FOR HELP
From: Mrs sharaf zongo
I am Mrs sharaf zongo from Netherlands.
I was married to Dr. Ahmed zongo who worked with Chevron Texaco in
burkina faso. for twenty years before he died in the year 2000, May be
you
must have
heard about him in the oil firm.We were married for thirty-seven years
without a child. He died during one of the riot in the burkina gwake
region
of
abijan and burkina faso borders. He was held hostage and slain to
death by
protesting youths and the rebels 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 when he was alive he deposited the sum of
$6,500,000,00Million with a security company in Europe Presently,
this
money is still with the company and the management just wrote me as the
beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a
letter
of authorization 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 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 organization. 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 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
security company. I will also issue you a letter of
authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. You
are
to help me invest this funds into real estate and stocks. You will be
entitled to 10% of every profit you make in a year. Please assure me
that
you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Note. You can contact the
security company’s Correspondence office in
Europe for verification on the consignment as the funds was deposited
in a trunk box as a consignment, and the consignment’s code is “555”
name
of depositor Ahmed zongo, present beneficiary Tina S. Das.
Hoping to hearing from you soon.
Waiting for your reply
Yours in Christ,
