Subject: Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you
From: Madam Susan Cole.
London, United Kingdom
England.
Here writes Madam Susan Cole, suffering from
cancerous ailment.
When my late husband was alive he deposited
the sum of 10Million (Ten Million Pounds Sterling
which were derived from his vast estates and
investment in capital market with his bank here
in UK. Presently, this money is still with the
Bank. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have
limited days to live due to the cancerous problems
I am suffering from.
Though what bothers me most is the stroke that
I have in addition to the cancer. With this
hard reality that has befallen my family, and
me I have decided to donate this fund to you
and want you to use this gift which comes
from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of
widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the
down-trodden, physically challenged children,
barren-women and persons who prove to be
genuinely handicapped financially.
It is often said that blessed is the hand that
giveth. I took this decision because I do not
have any child that will inherit this money
and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very
wealthy persons and I do not want my husband
hard earned money to be misused or invested
into ill perceived ventures. 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
hence I know where I am going. I know that I
am going to be with the Almighty when I
eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight
my case and I shall hold my peace. I do not
need any telephone communication in this regard
due to my deteriorating health and because of
the presence of my husband relatives around me.
I do not want them to know about this development.
With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you
the contact of the bank in UK. I will also issue
you a Letter of Authority that will empower you
as the original beneficiary of this fund.
My happiness is that I lived a life worthy
of emulation. Please always be prayerful all
through your life. Please assure me that you
will act just as I have stated herein.
Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you
and members of your family.
please send all emails to my Private confidential
email below:
<susancole222@yahoo.co.uk>
Yours sincerely
Madam Susan Cole.
