Greetings and I bring you good news. Please let this not sound strange to you. I am deaf and suffering from a long time cancer of the bream Set! Which also affected my brain, from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious that according to my doctors they have advised that; I may not live for the next nine months, this is because the cancer stage has deteriorated and gotten very bad.
I was brought up from a motherless baby’s home, married to my late husband for twenty years without a child and my husband died in an air crash. Before his death we were true Christians and since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited as a safety deposit the sum of nine million, five hundred thousand United States dollars ($9,500,000:00) with a Security & Finance Company. Presently, the fund is still with them and the management wrote me a month back as the true owner to come forward to claim the funds or issue a letter of Authorization for Release to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness.
I am with my lap top in the 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 the fund is invested to any venture and or organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless baby’s home where I come from. I want you to also use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows.
If you are interested, please contact my Late Husband's lawyer Oliver Malcolm with his email: oliverpatmalcolm@aol.co.uk with your provided information as requested below. Then he will give you the contact of the Security & Finance House, and will also issue you a Letter of Authority for Release that will enable you as the beneficiary secure the release of these funds.
