Subject: Dearest one ,
*Dearest one ,
I am Mrs Mary philips from Sierra Leone. I was married to Mr.Stephen Philips
who was a contractor and also a cocoa marchant before he died in the year
2005 after few days in the hospital. The doctor said his death was as a
result of poison.
We were married for so many years without a child.When my late husband was
alive he deposited the sum of $8.5 Million with a Bank.Presently this money
is still in the custody of the bank.Please call me today on +22508196860 if
you can handle this sincere.
Recently, My Doctor told me that it is very likely i will die within the
next nine months due to kidney cancer problem. Having known my condition I
decided to donate this fund to a church,organization or good person that
will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.
I want good person that will use this money for orphanages, widows and other
people that need help.The Bible made us to understand that"Blessed is the
hand that giveth". l took this decision because I don't have any child that
will inherit this money and i don't want this money to loss in security
company because i don't have a child. l know that With God all things are
possible.
This is why I am taking this decision.Though it was very painful to hear
this kind of news from my doctor but I am not afraid of death because I know
where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.I
don't think there is need for any telephone communication in this regard
because of my health but the important thing to me is for you to do what i
will require you in this regard.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I
will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you
the present beneficiary of the money.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Any delay in your reply
will give me room in sourcing another goodperson, for this same
purpose.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein by
send me your details below;
Your Full name;........................................................
