Dear Beloved One,
In a brief, I am Mrs Teressa Stevens, Wife of late Mr Stevens James,
a white farmer, murdered by unknown assailants 2003 in Zimbabwe.
My husband was a white farmer in Zimbabwe who was brutally murdered
in the land dispute in Zimbabwe by the agents of the ruling government
of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for the
opposition MDC PARTY led by the minority white farmers. My husband was
among the few white rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the war
veterans backed by the government. Before the death of my husband, he
deposit the sum of US$20.5M (Twenty Million Five hundred thousand United
State Dollars) with one of the Financial Institution, as if he knew the
looming danger in ZIMBABWE. We were married for twelve years.
Presently this money is still with the Financial Institution.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I might not last for the next Eight
months due to an inflammation of my liver. This has led to my being on
24 hours intensive care, in a private clinic here in Cotonou Rep. of
Benin. I am tired of living like this. I have decided to donate part of
this fund to an individual, group or a charity organisation that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein while half of the
money shall be kept for the betterment of my children. I want an individual,
or Charity Organisation that will use this fund for orphanages, widows,
and
helping land mine victims worldwide. I took this decision because my
husband's relatives are Trouble Makers and I don't want my husband's
efforts to be used for trivialities I do not want a situation where my
husband's sweat will be used in material pursuits. This is why I am
taking this decision.
Please ensure to contact me immediately to enable me direct you to
the Financial Institution where the fund was deposited and awaiting
claim for you to contact the firm immediately for the release and
transfer of the fund into your account.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person
for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly
as I stated herein.
Hope to receive your reply.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Teressa Stevens
