Dear Friend,I am Mrs Julie Scoth, from Holland.I am married to Dr.John Scoth of united states who worked with Chevron Texaco as oil consultant/contractor in Africa for twenty years before he died in the year 2000.We were married for twenty-seven years without a child. He died during one of the riot in the Niger delta region .He was held hostage and slain to death by protesting youths of the region.Before his death we were both born again christians.Since is death I decided not to re-marry . When my late husband was alive he made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at $8m.USD (Eight Million U.S.Dollars) with account number 0130648335800, with a financial firm in Europe.Meanwhile, this money is still with the bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over. Presently, Iam with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs.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 with the proceed at the end of every year distributed among charity organisation. I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. I am made to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.I took this decision because I know that there area lot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and nobody to come to their aid.With God all things are possible.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the financial firm .
