Dear 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 email id from your country guestbook.
I am Mrs. Rita Chase from Netherland,I am 58 years old,i am suffering from
a long time cancer of the lungs 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,my husband died in a fatal
motor accident Before his death we were true believers.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry,I sold all my inherited
belongings and deposited all the sum of 10million dollars with a First
Inland Bank.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 becauseof my illness or
they get it confisticated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital here in london where I have been
undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. 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 organisation of your choice and distributed each year
among the charity organization,the poor and the motherless babies home.
I want you as God fearing person, to also use this money to
fundchurch,mosque,orphanages and widows,I took this decision, before i rest
in peace because my time will so on be up.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the First
Inland Bank.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.
You are requested to respond to my private box ritachase19774@yahoo.fr.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Waiting for your reply
Mrs. Rita Chase
