Hello Dear Friend,
Greetings in the name of God.
Please let this mail not sound too strange or embarassing to you. my family attorney who would have handled this executorship of my WILL on my behalf died early this year after a protracted illness. I therefore prayed and got your email ID from your country's guestbook. I am Mrs. Bennie Carol. Morgan, an Australian by birth,from Brisbane. I am 58 years old. i am suffering from a protracted cancer of the lungs which has also affected my brain cells due to complications. from all indication my condition is really deteriorating and it is quite obvious according to my doctors that i may not live for the next two months, this is because the cancer stage has gotten to a critical and life threatening stage.
I was brought up in an orphanage home as a child of circumstance,having been abandoned at birth by my teenage biological mother and taken to an orphanage home by a good samaritan.i was married to my late husband Mr.Steve Morgan for twenty years without a child. Steve was hypertensive and died of cardiac arrest. Before his death we were and are still fervent Believers and a God fearing and humble family. we lived in nigeria for over 18 years,where my husband worked as an executive director with a multinational construction and oil servicing conglomorate.
Sequel to my husbands unfortunate and shocking demise, i decided not to re-marry. when my ailment became terrible,i sold off all our choice properties and personal belongings comprising of a shopping mall,an hotel, shares, bonds,jewelries and other valuable family treasures and deposited the proceeds amounting to USD$10.2million dollars with First Inland Bank of Nigeria plc.Presently, this money is still lodged with the Bank, and the management and board of directors of the Bank just wrote me as the sole owner to come forward to receive the money after having kept it for so long a time in their coffers,or that i can issue a letter of authorization to somebody whom i trust to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over and claim the funds due largely to my illness or they get it confisticated.
Presently, I'm writing you with my laptop in a London hospital,located at fulham road in west London.It is the leading cancer treatment hospital in the world and i have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs there. my doctors like i said earlier told me that I have only two months to live,unless there is a divine intervention.It is my last WISH therefore to see that 70% of this fund which amounts to usd$7,140,000.00 (seven million one hundred and forty thousand dollars only) is invested to any organisation of your choice and distributed as you may deem fit, expecially to the motherless babies homes and homes for destitutes and the mentally retarded. you can also extend some part of the funds to churches and mosques,if you wish. 30% of the money which amounts to usd$3,060,000.00(three million sixty thousand dollars only) is for your personal use in appreciation for your commitment and time.
I want you as a God fearing individual to take it upon yourself and use this money for the aforementioned purposes, i took this decision in other to help humanity in my little capacity before i rest in peace in the bosom of the almighty.according to my physicians my time will soon be up.As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the official contact of the First Inland Bank plc officials,to enable you reach them without delays.I will also issue you a letter of authorization that will prove you as the new beneficiary of my will. the funds have an open beneficiary mandate,and as such it is whom i authorize or appoint to act on my behalf that the bank will recognize and release the funds to.Please assure me that you that you will not treat this offer with levity but will rather act accordingly as stated herein.
hoping to hear from you soonest.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Bennie Carol. Morgan.
