Subject: Dear Beloved One!!
Dear Beloved One,
I am Mrs Rita Elena from LOME-TOGO, I am 58 years old, i am a deaf and
suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my
brain. By all indication my condition is really deteriorating, and my
doctors have courageously advised me that i may not live beyond the
next two months, this is because the cancer stage has reached a
critical stage.
I was brought up in a motherless babies home, and was married
to my late husband for twenty years without a child. My husband and i
are true Christians, but quite unfortunately, he was among the victims of an unfortunate bomb explosion that occorred some where in africa on an offical tour.
Below aew the website of the explosion:

Since his death I decided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited
belongings and deposited all the sum of $31.5million dollars with a
Bank.
Presently, this money is still in their custody, and the management
just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money
after keeping it for so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to
somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over as a
result of my illness, or they get it confiscated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been
undergoingtreatment. 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 this money is invested in any
organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity
organization,the poor and the motherless babies home where i come
from.
I want you good humanitarian, to also use this money to fund churches,
orphanages and widows around .I must let you know that this was a very
hard decision, but i had to take a bold step towards this issue,and i
hope you will help see my last wishes come true.
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 which will prove that you
are the new beneficiary of my funds.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hope
to hear from you soonest.
via email: mrs_rita_elena@hotmail.com
Awaiting your reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Rita Elena
