Dear Beloved in Christ, It is with tears and pains that I am writing thisemail from my sick bed in a hospital here in BeninRepublic. I believe you have never met such acondition before. My name is Mrs Marbel Horner, widowto late Engineer Sunday Horner, former owner ofPETROLEUM AND GAS Company, here in Benin Republic. Atthe present, I am suffering from a long time cancer ofthe breast. And from all indications, my condition isreally deteriorating and it's quite obvious that Iwon't live more than 2 months according to my doctors.This is because the cancer stage has gotten to a verybad stage, but I don't want you to pity me, but I onlyneed your trust. My late husband died in December 2003 in a plane crashin Benin, (please check,http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html)and during the period of our marriage we couldn'tproduce any child. My late husband was very wealthyand after his death, I inherited all his business andwealth. Due to my illness, the doctor have advised methat I will not live for more than 2 months, due tothe damages that the illness has coursed on my body,so I have now decided to spread all my wealth, Iinherited from my late husband, in order to contributemainly to the development of charity in Africa,America, Asia and Europe. I am sorry if you areembarrassed by my mail. I found your e-mail address as a real Child of God forover a month now, during my search for a trust worthyChristian. And since then, I have been investigatingabout you to know if really you are working accordingto the direction of God. So, after all myinvestigation, I was convince, and I have decided tocontact you, but if for any reason you find this mailoffensive, you can ignore it and please accept myapology. But if it touches you in your heart to helpthe homeless and the needy, please respond as soon aspossible. Before my late husband died, he was a majoroil tycoon, in Benin and deposited the sum ofUS$8,000,000.00 (Eight Million U.S Dollars only)in asecurity company here in Benin Republic, some yearsago and right now that is all I have left, after mylate husband's business associates, took everythingthat belongs to my dear husband. I need your help tocollect this fund and distribute it yourself tocharity homes, so that when I finally die, my soulwill rest in peace. The funds will be entirely in yourhands and care, as you utilize it very well. I hopeGod gives you the wisdom to touch very many lives thatis in need, because that is my main concern. Please note that 40% of this fund will be for youcompletely, for your time and effort, while 60% goesto charity.If you are willing to do this, please reply back to meASAP. God bless you.Mrs Marbel HornerChrist Alive GeneralHospital.Benin Republic.
