DEAR FRIEND
MY DEAR FRIEND,YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISE TO RECEIVE THIS MY MAIL MESSAGE TO YOU
.I AM MRS. SUSAN SMITH BILL, AND WAS MARRIED TO ONE DR.BROWN BILL WHO WORKED
WITH NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLUEM COOPERATION (NNPC) BEFORE JOINING
CHEVRON-TEXACO IN NIGERIA FOR TWENTY YEARS BEFORE HE DIED IN THE YEAR 2006,
MAYBE YOU MUST HAVE HEARD ABOUT HIM IN THE OIL FIRM. WE WERE MARRIED FOR
THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS WITHOUT A CHILD .
AS YOU WILL LIKE TO KNOW THAT NIGERIA IS A RICH COUNTRY, THEY ARE IN THE
SEVENTH POSITION IN THE WORLD AS THE LARGGEST OIL PRODUCING NATIONS . HE
DIED DURING ONE OF THE RIOTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN NIGER DELTA REGION WHERE THE
OIL IS PRODUCED.HE WAS HELD HOSTAGE AND SLAIN TO DEATH BY PROTESTING YOUTHS
OF THE REGION FOR GOVERNMENT NEGLET.
BEFORE HIS DEATH WE WERE BOTH GOD FEARING AND BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS, AFTER
HIS DEATH I DECIDED NOT TO RE-MARRY . WHEN MY LATE HUSBAND WAS ALIVE HE
DEPOSITED THE SUM OF $9,500,00000 USD (NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS ONLY) WITH A SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN NIGERIA WITH BRANCH OFFICES IN
EUROPE AND AMERICA .
PRESENTLY,THIS MONEY IS STILL WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY AND THE MANAGEMENT
JUST WROTE ME AS THE BENEFICIARY TO COME FORWARD TO RECEIVE THE LUGGUAGES
(BOXES) OR I SHOULD ISSUE A LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION TO SOMEONE ON MY BEHALF
IF I CAN NOT COME OVER .
PRESENTLY,I AM WITH MY LAPTOP IN A HOSPITAL WHERE I HAVE BEEN UNDERGOING
TREATMENT FOR CANCER OF THE LUNGS, I HAVE SINCE LOST MY ABILITY TO TALK AND
MY DOCTORS HAVE TOLD ME THAT I HAVE ONLY SOME FEW MONTHS TO LIVE. IT IS MY
WISH TO SEE THAT THIS MONEY IS INVESTED,THE PROFITS AT THE END OF EVERY YEAR
SHARED AND DISTRIBUTED TO CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS.
I AM LOOKING FOR A TRUSTWORTHY AND GOD FEARING PERSON WHO WILL USE THIS
MONEY TO FUND CHURCHES,MOSQUE,ORPHANAGES, WIDOWS AND FOR PROPAGATING THE
WORD OF GOD AND TO ENSURE THAT THE HOUSE OF GOD IS MAINTAINED . I TOOK THIS
DECISION BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF POOR PEOPLE SUFFERING OUT
THERE FROM DIFFERENT KINDS OF DISEASES AND NOBODY TO COME TO THEIR AID.
AS SOON AS I RECEIVE YOUR REPLY I SHALL GIVE YOU THE CONTACT OF MY HUSBAND'S
SPECIAL ASSISTANCE AND THE SECURITY COMPANY,YOU WILL CONTACT THEM.I WILL
LIKE YOU TO INVEST THIS MONEY IN REAL ESTATE AND STOCKS SO THAT YOU WILL
MAKE MORE PROFITS .IT WILL PLEASE YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAVE DECIDED THAT YOU
WILL BE ENTITLED TO 15% OF EVERY PROFIT YOU MAKE IN A YEAR FOR YOUR
ASSISTANCE,I HAVE EMPOWERED YOU THROUGH MY SPIRIT WHETHER ALIVE OR DEATH.
NOTE: THAT, THE MONEY WAS DEPOSITED TO THE SECURITY COMPANY AS A
PRESIDENTIAL LOGGUAGE . IT IS ONLY MY LATE HUSBAND AND I, THAT KNOWS WHAT IS
INSIDE THE BOX . THE DIRECTORS AND STAFFS IN THE SECURITY COMPANY ARE NOT
AWARE OF IT.
HOPING TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON
THANKS AND REMAIN BLESS
MRS.SUSAN SMITH BILL
