To Whom It May Concern:=20
Attn: Friend in the Lord,=20
Let me commence by saying greetings to you and your family in the name of G=
od. In my search for a reliable and God fearing person and having gotten yo=
ur contact through prayers and painstaking efforts I have decided to seek y=
our help in carrying out my last wishes. My name is Mrs. Helen Woods. I'm a=
55 years old woman and from Solomon Islands. I was a Realtor and owned Man=
y Companies here in United Kingdom inherited from my husband Late Mr. Johns=
on Woods.=20
My husband and two children died in a car accident six years ago 14th of Ap=
ril 2001 to be precise. Before this happened, our business and material thi=
ngs was all I live for. I never really cared about other values in life. Bu=
t since the loss of my family, I have found a new desire to assist helpless=
families. I have been visiting orphanage and motherless homes to share my =
sorrow and joy with them. I have also donated some money for humanitarian n=
eeds in Sudan, Iraq and Iran, Uganda, Israel, Brazil, and some Asian countr=
ies. Only recently I saw on television the colossal loss of properties and =
livelihood people in Canberra, Australia through fire. I was moving with gr=
eat pity and compassion that I decided to make this contribution
on assisting people over there.=20
Brethren, this is to notify you that one of the company I inherited from m=
y husband deposited a total sum of =C2=A31,500,000.00 GBP which is equivale=
nt to $3,032,015.64 USD Million in a long-term deposit account with (NATWES=
T BANK PLC LONDON). Presently, I'm in a hospital where I have been undergoi=
ng treatment for Oesophagi Cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and=
my doctors have told me that I have only few years to live. It is my last =
wish to see this money distributed to listed victims above and others to ch=
arity organization. Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of=
my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony entrusting this h=
uge responsibility to any of them.=20
Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit and dis=
tributes it accordingly. Use your judgment to distribute the money and keep=
10% of it to yourself. Feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the m=
oney for any cost you incur during the process of collecting and distributi=
ng the money. If you are willing to help, please reply as soon as possible =
so that my attorney will guide assist you. Maythe good Lord bless you and y=
our family.=20
NOTE: Please, send reply and all correspondences to my private e-mail box: =
Mrs. Helen Woods (Email: mrs.helen_woods@yahoo.co.uk / mrs_helen_woods@cool=
toad.com )=20
GOD BLESS YOU.
GOD IS MY STRENGTH.
