My Dear Beloved,
I got your email from an online search carried out by my private machine and
i am the above named person but now undergoing medical treatment in
Hospital, in Ghana . That was my home town. I was married to Dr. Husein Tutu
who was a merchant in Dubai , in the U.A.E. for nine years before he died in
the year 2005. We were married for fourth years with one child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both born again Christians and we lived happily.
Since his death, I decided not to get man outside my matrimonial home due to
the love i had and still have for my husband and my son. When my late
husband was alive he secured $15.3Million (Fifteen Million, three hundred
thousand U.S. Dollars) with a financial institution in Ghana .
Presently,this money is still with the financial institution. Recently, my
doctor told me that from the entire test conducted on my health, I am not
going to last long, especially, due to my cancer and stroke. But what
disturbs me most now is stroke.
Having known my condition, I have decided to donate this fund to churches or
Christian individuals that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct. I want a church or individual that will use this money to fund
churches, orphanages and widows. Also, the propagations of the work of God,
building and maintaining the house of God through this money, are very
important. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of
my son so you can help him to invest this money as the way his father said
we should use it for. I will also give you all information regarding the
deposit of this money. I will issue you a letter of authority which has my
signature that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. I
want you and your churches always pray for me because God works in
mysterious ways.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that
wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be
prayerful all through your life. Please note that 40% of this money will be
for your time and effort, while 60% goes to my son and charity if you are
willing to assist me to work with my son.Please you can reply us through
this mail(mrsbashiratutu@live.com)
Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Peace be with you.
Mrs.Bashira Tutu
