From: Halimah Musa.
Attention,
Dear Respectful,
Here writes Halimah Musa,help me from suffering of cancerous ailment. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 10Million (Ten Million Pounds Sterling) which were derived from his vast estates and investment in capital market with his security company here in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire . Presently, this money is still with the security company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am suffering from.
Though what bothers me mostly is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer. With this hard reality that has befallen my family, and me I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husbands effort to fund the upkeep of widows, widowers, orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children, barren-women and persons who prove to be genuinely handicapped financially.
I want you to stand as the new beneficiary to the funds. As soon as I receive your reply I shall
give you the contact of the security company and you will contact them. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund.
My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. It is often said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I do not have many issue just only one child boy that i have that the inherited funds are on his name as the next of kin and my husband relatives are bourgeois and very wealthy persons and I do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused or invested into ill perceived ventures. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. Please with this project offer i am willing to offer you your compersation percentage for helping me which is 20% and 5% is for the expenses that you will inncure in this matter local and international.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be with the Almighty when I eventually pass on. The Almighty will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I will like you to reply so that you can comunicate with my son and his name is Musterpher Musa in this regard due to my deteriorating health and because of the presence of my husband relatives around me. I do not want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.
Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you
and members of your family.
Please send all emails to my private confidential

Yours sincerely
Halimah Musa,
