Subject: Assist me in distributing the money amongst charity organizations
Beloved ,
This mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as
unserious could come into your mind but please consider it a divine wish and
accept it with a deep sense of humility.
With due respect and humility, I write to you irrespective of the fact
that you don't know me. I got your contact through the international
directory on internet when I was making inquiry for foreign assistance.
I have decided to contact and bestow trust in you, which I pray you will not
ignore. I apologize in advance for any inconveniences that this proposal may
cause to you. Handle this discretely and contact me urgently if you can
assist me in this transaction,I am Mrs. Mary Celina Jocie , of Repulic
South African, widow to Late Mr. Smith Colmbo Jocie.
I am a 61 years old woman,I was the President/CEO of CON OILINTERNATIONAL
-an oil servicing company in Johannesbu rg.I was also married with no child.
My husband died 3years ago. Before the dealth of my husband, he kept $12
Million in a bond-term deposit account in a bank in Benin Republic.Before
this happened my business and concern for making money was all I was living
for and I never really cared about other people. But since the loss of my
Husband and also because I haveno child to call my own, due to this I have
found a new desire to assistthe helpless. I am writing from my sickbed,my
reason of contacting you is to seek your assistance in helping me to retrive
my late husband bond deposited sum $12 Million with a bank in Benin
Republic , because my husband and I have no children, I am looking for a
credible person to whom I will pass the right of next of kin. This person
will apply to the bank and request, from them, the procedure towards
transfering of the fund.
I have recently been daigonosed of esophageal cancer and my doctors have
told me that I have only a few months to live. It is my last wish to see
this money distributed to charity organizations for the benefit of the less
previlleges because my husband relatives and friends has plundered so much
of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting
this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of
God to help me collect the $12 Million from the Bank and distributes it
amongst charity organizations.
You are at liberty to use your discretion to distribute the money and feel
free as well to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any expenses
and distributing the money to charity organizations on the condition that
you will take 25% of the fund for yourself,5% used for any expenses, while
you will use the remaining 70% for the less previlege people in the society.
Expedite action and contact me via my private
Email:mrsmarysmith@rocketmail.com <Email%3Amrsmarysmith@rocketmail.com>
May the good Lord bless you and your family.
Best Regards,
Mary Celina Jocie
