Subject: With due regards/honour
Dear Friend
I am Mrs Emelia Brown I am 68 years old from U.S.A, and I am suffering from
a long time cancer of the Lungs which also affected my brain, from all
indication my conditions is really deteriorating. 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 and we lived in London until my husband died
in a fatal motor accident in London. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry, I sold all my inherited belongings and deposited all the money
with a bank in London. Presently, this money is still with the bank and I
have not operated the account for long now due to the illness.
Presently, I'm with a laptop in Hospital, where I have been under
going treatment for cancer of the lungs for over one year. Recently, doctors
told me that I have only a few months to live so I quickly called up a
pastor to give me positive thinking on this solution, He
ministered to me to share this inheritance with the motherless
baby/orphanage homes/people that need money for survivor.
It is my last wish to see that some percentage (%) distributed among the
charity organizations, the poor and the motherless babies home where I came
from and some percentage (%)for devoted individual that will utilize this
money the way I wish.I took this decision, because my time will soon be up
and I do not want the bank to inherit the money if I eventually die.
I want you to honestly accept my decision and send me the following details
to enable me instruct my bank to process all my money valued £3.5 million
and transfer to you as my new beneficiary. As soon as I receive your reply
and the details,I will issue a letter of authority to my bank which will
empower you as the new beneficiary of my fund,as long as you will give me
assurance that you will do my last wish.
