From: "Anita Wema" <anitawema6@hotmail.com>
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 06:44:51 +0000
Subject: my last wish
Mrs Anita Wema.
Dear Friend,
I send my love and greetings to you. I am Mrs Anita Wema from South Africa.
I am married to Late Dr. Godwin Wema of blessed memory who was oil explorer
in Kuwait and Brunei for fifteen years before he died in the year 2000. We
were married for twelve years without a child. He died after a brief illness
that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both devoted to our
God and respect others who serves Him.
Since his death, I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid
problems. When my late Husband was alive he Deposited the sum of
$10.5million (Ten Million, Five Hundred thousand U.S Dollars) in a Security
Company in United State of America. The money is deposited as Family
Valuables/Treasure for security and family reasons.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have less than three months to live due
to my cancer problem, and this lead to a stroke attack which bother me most
though because I cannot move as I use to. Having known my condition I
decided to entrust this fund to either a philanthropic organization or
devoted individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct herein. 30% of the US$10.5million (US$3.150 million) goes to you to
ensure that you are prepared for the task ahead, 60% of the US$10.5million
(US$6.300 million) will be used in all sincerity to fund philanthropic
organization, orphanages and widows, while 5% of the will go to the family
Attorney who will prepare the Authorization and the balance 5% sent to me to
at least prepare for my funeral and off-set my medical bills.
I am taking this decision because I don't have any child or devoted
relations whose behavior has left much to be desired while I am ill and
above all I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an
unGodly manner, hence this bold decision. Since my health is retrogressing
by the minute, you will have to send your POSTAL ADDRESS, CONTACT PHONE
NUMBER AND FAX and a little details about yourself, because I got your
address from the internet after a thorough search.
As soon as I receive this information from you I will make arrangement to
prepare the Authorization through the family Attorney for you to get
Possession of the Deposit. As soon as I receive your reply I will ensure
that the authorization is given to you by me. I will give you the name and
contact of the Deposit Security Company where the money was deposited in
United State of America, for claims to the funds. Until I hear from you, I
pray that this letter bring you and your family good tiding while my dreams
to help humanity rest squarely on your shoulders. May the Almighty God
continue to guide and protect you.
Remain Blessed,
Mrs Anita Wema.
