Subject: MAY THE PEACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU AS THIS MAIL IS COMING TO YOU?
From: Mrs.Bashira Tutu
47 gold coast road,
Accra, Ghana.
My Dear Beloved,
I got your email from an online search carried out by my private machine and i am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in Hospital, in Ghana. That was my home town. I was married to Dr. Husain Tutu who was a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for fourth years with one child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians and we lived happily. Since his death, I decided not to get man outside my matrimonial home due to the love I had and still have for my husband and my son. When my late husband was alive he secured $15.3Million (Fifteen Million, three hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with a financial institution in Ghana. Presently, this money is still with the financial institution. Recently, my doctor told me that from the entire test conducted on my health, I am not going to last long, especially, due to my cancer and
stroke.
But what disturbs me most now is stroke. Having known my condition, I have decided to donate this fund to churches or Christian individuals that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund churches,
orphanages and widows. Also, the propagation of the work of God, building and maintaining the house of God through this money, is very important. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my son so you can help him to invest this money as the way his father said we should use it for. I will also give you all information regarding the deposit of this money. I will issue you a letter of authority which has my signature that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. I want you and your churches always pray for me because God works in mysterious ways. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Please note that 40% of this money will be for your time and effort, while 60% goes to my son and charity if you are willing to assist me to work with my son.
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Bashira Tutu.
