From: "Mrs.Monika Kazim" <msmonikakazim@sify.com>

Subject: DEARLY BELOVED,PLEASE USE FOR CHARITY WORK,PLEASE IF YOU CAN HANDLE
Dearly Beloved,
I am Mrs. Monika Kazim from Sao Tome and Principe, I was
married to late Mr. Richard Kazim the CEO of RIDIA Oil
Mining & Exploration, I am 58 years old, I am suffering from
a long time cancer of the breast which has affected my
talking & hearing lately. The cancer has reached a critical
stage, so my doctors have courageously advised me to indulge
in Prayers as well because it is clear that I would not live
past the next two to three months. I was raised in an
orphanage Home, and was married to my late husband for
twenty years without a child.
My husband and I are true Christians so after his death I
decided not to re-marry, he died in a fatal motor accident
which I know is political motivated because of his venture
in the new oil industry. I sold all my inherited belongings
and deposited all the sum of US$28,300,000.00 with a Bank.
Presently, the money is still with the bank, and I received
a letter from the management of the holding bank as the real
depositor urging me to come forward to receive the money
after keeping it for such a long or rather issue
a letter of approval or power of attorney to somebody to
receive it on my behalf or the management will confiscate
the funds.
Frankly, I can not come over as a result of my illness;
I’m with my laptop in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment. 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 in any
Charitable Organization of your choice and distributed each
year among the Charity organizations and Orphanages, so I
want a good humanitarian to use this money to fund Churches,
Needy and Widows in Sao Tome and Principe or in your Country
but preferably in Sao Tome and Principe. I must let you know
that this was a very hard decision, but I had to take a bold
step towards this issue, and I hope you will help see my
last wishes come true.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall use the little money
I have for my drugs and Medi-care to procure and issue you a
letter of authority which will prove that you are the new
beneficiary of my funds and I shall release the contact of
the Bank to you.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein. I hope to hear from you soonest if you are willing
to handle this project. Please you can also reach with my
private email: msmonikakazim@hotmail.com.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Monika Kazim.
