From: "Rachel Black" <rachel.black9@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 28 May 2007 19:05:50 -0500
Subject: FROM: RACHEL BLACK
Dear Brethren,
I am Mrs. RACHEL BLACK from Trinidad and Tobago . I was married to
Dr.MICHAEL BLACK 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 on t5his email address rachel.black51@yahoo.com.
Waiting for your reply
MRS. RACHEL BLACK
NB:PLEASE MAIL TO MY PERSONAL EMAIL THUS:rachel.black51@yahoo.com
