Subject: Beloved Friend,
*Beloved Friend,
Greetings in the name of God, Pls let this not sound strange to you for my
only surviving lawyer who would have done this died early this year, I
prayed and got your E-mail I'd from your country's guestbook which I have
been going through since the death of my late husband in search of a God
fearing person to whom I will entrust my inheritance fund to his or her
hand that will not betray my intention. *
*
I am Mrs. Amina Ahmed from Switzerland, I am 40 years old, suffering from a
long time cancer of the lungs, from all indication my conditions is really
deteriorating and it is quite obvious according to my doctors that I may not
live up to the end of this year, this is because the cancer stage has
gotten to a very bad stage.
Meanwhile, I was brought up from a motherless babies home as an orphan, was
married to my late husband for twenty years without a child, my husband died
in a plan crash, and Before his death we were true believers.
Since his death, I decided not to re-marry and sold all my inherited
belongings and deposited the sum of Ten million U.S dollars (US$10.M) with
First Inland Bank Plc.
Presently, this money is still with the bank, and the manager of the bank
just wrote me as the true owner of the fund, to come forward to receive the
money, for keeping it so long will amount of loosing the money, or rather
issue a letter of authorization to somebody of my choice to receive it on my
behalf since I can not come over to them because of my illness or consider
the money be confisticated.
However, I'm with my laptop on my hospital bed here in Switzerland where I
has been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs and My doctors have
told me that I have only a few months to live.
It is my best wish to see that this money is invested to any charitable
organization of your choice, and use it to promote Christianity, Islam and
as well as distributing each year among the widows, less privileges,
orphanages and the motherless babies home across your country.
I want you as God-fearing person, to also use this money to fund mosque,
church and assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein
without deviating from my heart desire.
I took this decision, before I rest in peace due to what I gone through
during my days of up bringing as an orphan with motherless babies home in my
country.
As soon as I receive your reply and information, I shall give you the
contact of the First Inland Bank plc where I deposited this fund to enable
you contact them on the matter and thereafter, I will also issue you a
letter of authorization that will prove you as the beneficiary of my fund.
For your interest and readiness to carry out this divine project on my
behalf, get back to immediately through this my private box: **

Hoping to receive your immediate reply.
Yours Sister in the Lord,
