Beloved One...
Assalam Alaikum
I send my love and greetings to you.
I am Mrs. Saint Abdul, from nigeria presently in london where I am hospitalized. I am married to Late Dr. Rahman Abdul who was oil explorer in Kuwait for ten years before he died in the year 2005.
We were married for ten years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were committed to each other and respect each others interest.
Since his death, I too have been battling with both (Esophageal Cancer and Fibroid) problems and have been in the hospital for a very long time my doctor told me that I have few months to live due to my cancer problem and this lead to a stroke attack which bothers me most through because I cannot move as I use to.
Having known my condition I decided to seek for your help.
My late Husband was alive he deposited the sum of $8.5Million (Eight Million Five Hundred United States Dollars) with Intercontinental Bank under my name.
20% of the US$8.5million goes to you, while 80% of it will be used in all sincerity to fund charity organizations, motherless baby's home, mosques, churches, schools, supporting destitute aged men and women or whatever you may have in mind that will be to the benefit of the less fortunate in your country.
I am taking this decision because the relatives of my husband have confiscated other of our wealth without giving any to the needy.
Based on that I don't want to in trust this fund to any of them, and I have no child, I cannot take the fund to the grave I don't want a situation where this money will be used in inappropriate manner.
Since my health is retrogressing by all minute, please simply reply as soon as possible to confirming your acceptance to claim the deposit on my behalf.
Then I will make arrangement to prepare a letter of authorization through an attorney for you to get possession of this fund as my new duly assigned representative.
I pray that this letter bring you and your family good tiding while my dreams to help humanity rest squarely on your shoulders and please dont worry about me because incase I lost my life, I will be smiling at the poor for at least I have tried to touch their life so preciously through you.
Do remember me in your prayers because that is what I needed most for now, I hope to hear from you urgently.
Remain Blessed, Mrs. Saint Abdul.
