Subject: My Dearest Beloved.
My Dearest Beloved.
Peace be unto you in the Mighty Name of our LORD. Please take your time to read what I am sending to you and get back to me confirming your interest.Note that I got your contact through the International web directory. I am Mrs. Sarah Adriano from Liberia who came to Nigeria during the 1989-1996 Liberian civil war ,which was one of Africa's bloodiest. It claimed the lives of more than 200,000 Liberians and further displaced a million others into refugee camps in neighboring countries. I am married to Late Steve Adriano who worked with Jordan embassy in Madrid Spain for some years before his death.
We were married for eleven years without a child and he died after a brief illness that lasted only four days. Before his death he was a very devoted Muslim and I was a devoted Christian by birth battling with both cancer and fibroid problems. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$19 Million United State Dollars with Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.
Currently I am presently in General Hospital Lagos at (1-3 Broad Street Lagos Island Lagos State Nigeria) I am using their Computer to write you this mail seeking your help hoping that the God which I serve will touch your heart to help me.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank and recently, my doctor told me that I had a terminating illness (cancer) that would last for the next few months and as such, I have decided to donate the US$19.M to either a Christian or Muslim individuals who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want this individual to use this money in all sincerity to fund churches, mosques, orphanages, or home for the widows and also for propagating the word of God and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the Holy book The Holy book emphasized so much on the giving of alms, charity and this has encouraged me in taking this bold step.
I took this decision because I don't have any child to inherit our estateas I will also not allow my husband hard earned money to be misused by people that call me an unbeliever. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with God, the highest and the most merciful one. I don't need any telephone communications because of the hospital where I am at the moment. But will only giving you the contact of my lawyer as soon as you agree to help me carry out my wishes. The lawyer will assist and guide you in making you the beneficiary of the funds.
I want you and the community where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted person though married to a Muslim, whoever that wants to serve god must serve him in truth and in spirit, please always be prayerful all through your life. Until I hear from you my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders, may the Almighty god continue to guide and protect you. Amen.
Yours faithfully,Mrs. Sarah Adriano.
