FROM MRS OLGA HOFFMANN
PLOT 765 STRAWSLAND WAY,
P.M.B 87006 DRAPP ISLAND,
SOWETO SOUTH AFRICA
Dear ,
I am the above named person from South Africa. I am married to
Dr. Malfred Hoffmann,who worked with United Kingdom embassy
in South Africa for nine years before he died in the year 2004.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child
outside my matrimonial home, which the Holy book is against.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$12.000.000 (Twelve Million US Dollars) with a Reserve/
Security company. Presently,this money is still under the
safe keeping of the Reserve /Security company abroad in
London United Kingdom.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the
next three months due to my cancer problems. Though what
disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition,
I decided to donate this fund to an organization or better
still a God fearing individual that will utilize this money
the way I am going to instruct here in.
I want a fellow that will use this fund on, orphanages and
widows propagatin the word of God and to ensure that the
house of God is maintained. The Holy book made us to
understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took
this decision because I don?t have any child that will
inherit this money and my husband relatives are not
Christians and I don?t want my husband"s hard earned money
to be misused by unbelievers. I don"t want a situation
where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence
the reasons for taking this bold decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I
know that I am going to be in the blossom of the Lord.
Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and
I shall hold my peace. I don?t need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my health and
also because of the presence of my husband?s relatives
arround me always.
I dont want them to know about this development. With God
all things arepossible. As soon as I receive your reply I
will forward your personal information to my lawyer so that
he will start processing of the legal documents that will
make you to be able to make the funds claim before
transferring the fund into your nominated Bank Account in
your country. I will also issue you a letter of authority
that will empower you as the original-beneficiary of this
fund.I want you and your family to always pray for me
because God is been so good to me. My happiness is that I
lived worthy life as a God fearing person.Whoever that
wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
here in.Once I hear from you I will give to you a lawyer
that I have contacted to take care of this transaction,
Personal contact as to get in touch with him and know
what is required of you, as to be able to do the needed.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.
My Very Best Regards,
Mrs. Olga Hoffmann.
