Subject: MRS COLLINS DEAR ONE wants to connect with you on MyChurch
Hello,
MRS COLLINS DEAR ONE is personally inviting you to MyChurch:
Good Day,
Let me first of all inform you, I go through your profile to mail you for a permission to go ahead. As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me because I believe everyone will die someday. I am Mrs. Tricia Collins. I am married to Mr. Silue Collins who own a cocoa farm here Ivory Coast for twenty Years before he died in the plan accident, we were married but without Any children. Since his death I decided not to re-marry. I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer which was discovered very late, due to my laxity in carrying for my health. I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth.
When my late husband was Alive he deposited the sum of (Six million Five Hundred thousand United State Dollars) in the private bank here in Ivory coast. Presently this money is still with the bank and the management just Wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward for the money but I told him that I will Issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf as I cannot come over, I am presently in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment on Cancer in a hospital , I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to Live. I want a person that is trustworthy that will utilize 85% of this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows around the world but in my name "Mrs. Tricia Silue Collins". and 15% for your kins assistance, Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any more. I once asked members of my family to close one of the account and distribute the money which I have there to charity organizations, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.
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 that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein and Keep this contact confidential till such a time this funds get to your Custody, this is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth.
Please I advise that you email me back only at (mrs.siluecollins@yahoo.fr )
Sincerely
Mrs. Tricia Silue Collins
