Dear Child of God,
I am Mrs. RACHEL GREEN from Trinidad and Tobago . I was married to
Dr.MICHAEL GREEN who worked with Chevron Texaco in Nigeria 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 riotS in the Niger delta region of Nigeria.He
was held hostage and slain to death by protesting youths 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 was alive he deposited
the sum of(Three million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a
security company. 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 because of the effect of the chemotheraphy i have been subjected
to
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/mosques,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 bank. 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.And
also do reach me via email.
Waiting for your reply
MRS. RACHEL GREEN
