Subject: Hello
Dear Beloved Friend,
Let me first of all inform you, I got your email address from a mail
Directory and decided to mail you for a permission to go ahead.I am Mrs
Theresa Johnson from Nigeria.I am married to the late Gregory Johnson a
Nigerian who worked with a construction company in Asia for twenty Years
before he died in the tsunami disasters, we were married but without Any
children.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry and presently I am 61 Years old. I
am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the
breast. From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is
quite obvious that I may not live more than six months, because the cancer
stage has gotten to a very severe stage.
My late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his
business and wealth.When my late husband was Alive he deposited the sum of
$3 million dollars (Three Million Dollars) with a bank here in Nigeria. My
personal physician told me that I may not live for more than six months and
I am so scared about this.
Presently this money is still with the bank and the management just Wrote me
as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather Issue a
letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I cannot
come over.
I am presently in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment Cancer
of the lungs in a hospital,I have since lost my ability To talk.
I want a person that is trustworthy that will utilize 75% of this money to
fund churches, orphanages, widows,victims of the tsunami and the katrina
around the world.
Please note that, this fund is lying in a bank therefore my lawyer will file
an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the name of your
ministry. Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this
fund for personal use other than enhancement of the said purpose above.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated here and Keep
this contact confidential till such a time this funds get to your
Custody,this is to ensure that nothing jeopardizes my last wish on Earth.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.
I await your urgent and positive reply to: teresa4charity@yahoo.it
