Dear Beloved,
Please forgive my indignation because this mail may come to you as a surprise. I got your contact from a database found in internet while searching for a reliable, honest and God fearing person that will assist us receive a fund into an account. I was divinely inspired to pick your name among others found in the Internet database after series of prayers for Gods direction. I am Mrs. Stella Castillo Taborda a citizen of Colombia currrently based and under intensive medical treatment in London, United Kingdom. I was married to Dr. Castillo Taborda who worked with the Malaysia Embassy in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2000. Unfortunately our union give us an only child who died some years back. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $3.3 Million (Three Million Three Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Security/finance company in EUROPE. Presently, this money is still with the Security/finance Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not live after the next three months due to my cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my disability to move around as a result of partial paralysis. Having known my condition I decided to donate part of this fund to a church or a mosque or better still a Christian or a Moslem individual that will utilize this money for charity works. I wish a church or Mosque or the individual beneficiary that will inherit this to use it for churches, Mosque and orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is beautified. The word of God said blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death because I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of my
Sav ior.
If you feel you are worthy enough to make yourself available in this project, let me know immediately you read my mail. GOD will surely give you the grace to accomplish this great task. All things work together for good for those who love GOD. I will give you the contacts of my lawyer here in London who will be handling the bulk of the transaction. I do not need personal telephone conversation in this regard because of my health and the presence of my husband,s relatives who are already scrambling for their late sibling,s wealth. I do not want them to know about this development. On your response my lawyer will speak with you and send you the contacts of the company and all relevant documents pertaining to this deposit to enable you travel and make this claim. Send your phone contacts and address to enable my lawyer get across to you.
Send response via email address stated above for confidential reasons.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Stella Castillo
