Subject: Dearest One.
My dear, hope you and your family are all in good health.
If so, may God take glory. I'm Justina Talo (Widow).I was married to Habib
Ali Talo who was a business tycoon in Petroleum products. We lived in Côte
d'Ivoire for Eleven years before he died on a brief illness on 2006. Till
his death, we were married without any kid.
My late husband left the sum of Seven million, Four hundred thousand U.S
Dollars ($7.4Million) in a security company here in Cotonou , Benin
Republic. He accrued the funds from his petroleum business in his country,
Iraq before he came to Africa . He brought the funds in a sealed metallic
box which he declared as containing some diplomat's personal effects and
photographic carbons when he left his warring country to my country Cote
d'Ivoire as a refugee. But when the crises in Cote d'Ivoire became alarming
few years ago, he retransferred the fund's box to another security company
in Cotonou , Benin Republic which is more peaceful and as usual, he didn't
inform the security company in Cotonou of the cash funds in the box.As am
suffering from Oesophagi Cancer and bed riding here in Cotonou General
Hospital , I have lost interests in earthly things and couldn't talk much
with people since the doctors have confirmed my short time of living.
As I watch a CNN news from my hospital ward on 28th November 2007, I heard
of a good Samaritan Businessman from Oklahoma, Mr Mart Green, owner of
Mardel stores in United States who donated cash sums of $70million to Oral
Roberts University in order to settle the University debts despite the fact
that he, Mr. Mart and his family members are not partners or affiliated to
the ownership of Oral Roberts Christian University. I then said to myself;
if a man like Mart Green who has no illness and he is offering such amount
as a free donation to a Christian university, then why can't I give out
those funds saved at the security company by my late husband to humanitarian
services before passing over? With my health condition and having no child
to leave my remaining treasures hence my family abandoned me long ago
because I'm married to a Muslim, this is why I have decided to donate those
funds for humanitarian centres to be built in my names as my last wish
through you hence I can't carry out the exercise personally now because of
my health status.
My wish is for you to keep half of the funds as your reward to carry out the
assignment on my behalf while you should use the remaining funds to build
humanitarian centres in your country and other countries. Please, assure me
of your sincere commitment to execute this assignment judiciously upon
receiving the funds, so that my soul will perfectly rest in peace when I'm
gone.As I'm counting my days and thanking God each day I opened my eyes, I'm
managing to check my message with my laptop in the hospital occasionally as
the doctors have warned of taking the laptop away from me if I can't stop
disturbing myself.
In your reply, include your address so that I will write to the fiduciary
institution in your favour and to introduce you as the beneficiary of the
fund's box so that the security company will deliver the fund's box to you
as its beneficiary. Please, pray for my soul to rest in peace with the lord
whenever am gone.

May God be with you.
Justina Talo (Widow).
