From:
Mrs. Ann Haafkens of Netherlands Greetings in the name of God, Please 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 you email id from your
country chambers of commerce which i have been with my late husband and
liked to visit once more if God will in his infinite mercies.
I am Mrs. Ann from Netherlands, I am 51 years old, I am deaf and suffering
from a long time cancer of the breast which also affected my brain, from all
indication my conditions is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious
that, according to my doctors they have advised me that i may not live for
the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a very
bad stage.
I was brought up from a motherless babies home was married to my late
husband for twenty years without a child, died in a fatal motor accident
Before his death we were true hristians.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry, I sold all my inherited
belongings and deposited all the sum of $4.2million dollars with a Security
Company. Presently, this money is still with them and the management just
wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping
it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive
it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get
it confisticated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing
treatment for cancer of the breast. I have since lost my ability to talk and
my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.
It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organization if
your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the
poor and the motherless babies home where i come from.
I want a God fearing person, to also use this money to fund churches,
orphanages and widows. I took this decision, before i rest in peace because
my time will soon be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security
Company. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as
the new beneficiary of my fund.Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hearing from you soon. Waiting for your reply
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Ann Hafkens
