PRAISE GOD, THE MOST BENEVOLENT.
=A0
I am Mrs.Almira Ahmed from=A0 Benin Republic. . I am married
to Late George Ahmed of blessed memory who worked with shell
Petrolium development company in Canada and Federal Republic of Nigeria for
Twelve years before he died in the year 2000.
We were married for eighteen years without a child. He died after a
brief illness that lasted for only four days. After his death I decided not
to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home.
Since 4 years after his death, i have been battling with both cancer and
fibroid problems.
When my late husband was alive, he deposited the sum of$7.6Million(Seven
Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with a bank and till date this
money is still with the bank.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to cancer problem.

Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund
to either an organization or a reliable individual in your person who
shall utilize this money to better the lives of the less privileged.
I want you to use this money in all sincerity to fund orphanages,
widows and the destitute.
God's benevolence has encouraged me to take this bold step.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit
this money and my husband's relatives has been very hostile and unkind to
me since after my husbands death.
So I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by them or
be used in an unholy manner. The reason why am taking this bold
decision is because, I know that after my death, I will be with God the mos=
t beneficients and merciful.
=A0
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. As soon as I
receive your reply I shall give you the contacts of the bank. For
legitimacy, I will also issue you a letter of authority (Power Ofattorney)
that will prove you as the true beneficiary of this fund.
Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another
organization or individual for this same purpose.
Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.
May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you.
Please if you are interested or have any question to ask then feel free to=
