Beloved
First, I must apologies to you for using this medium to communicate to you
about this project
I am the above named person from Northern Ireland. I am married to Mr.
Kalid Raheem who worked with Kuwait embassy in London for nine years before
he died in the year 2005.We were married for eleven years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. When my late
husband was alive he deposited the sum of $10.5Million(Ten Million five
hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with Global Trust Bank.
Presently, this money is still with the bank, my doctor told me that I would
not last for the next three months due to cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition I
decided to donate this fund to cancer research centers I am therefore
looking for any individual that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instruct. The person must also donate to orphanages, Research centers and
widows propagating the word of God I took this decision because I don't have
any child that will inherit this money. I don't want a situation where this
money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this
bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.
I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health
and the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want
them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As
soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of my account
officer with Global Trust Bank for immediate release of the funds to you by
telegraphic transfer.
I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new
beneficiary of this fund. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as
I stated herein.
Hoping to hearing from you. Remember to include your direct telephone number
for the use of my account officer and a brief of introduction of your self
and what you do presently together with your address. to contact you. Be
assured that it will not take more than 7 working days for you to receive
the fund from the date you acknowledge receipt of this mail.
Remain blessed
Mrs. Linda Rich.
