Subject: Do Remember Me in Your Prayers
Dear Friend,
Compliment of the seasons!
I send my love and greetings to you, Please pardon me as I am aware that this is not a conventional way of relaying such an important massage to you, I did try without success to locate either your contact address, and I resorted in contacting you via email. I am a US citizen but married to Late Dr.Rahman Muhammad of blessed memory who was oil explorer in Kuwait and Brunei for ten years before he died in the year 2006.
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 Cancer and fibroid problems,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 and having known my condition I decided to seek for your help. After his death I decided to sell the remaining of his inherited belongings and deposited the money with the Fund Manager in UK for safe keeping because I was urgently needed in the hospital because of my sickness,I took this decision,that before I rest in peace this money will be shares as I desires and 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 entrust 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, so my dear please do get back to me and let me know if you are willing to carry out this work. The management of the Financial Institution just wrote me as the owner my Lawyer told me to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a Letter of Authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I can not come over because of my illness or they get it confiscated because the time we agreed to claim the fund has passed.
So if you are willing to help me for this work: 30% of the fund goes to you to ensure that you are prepared for the task ahead, 70% of it will be used in all sincerity to fund philanthropic organization,orphanages and widows. As soon as i receive your reply, i will send you the a letter of authority that will prove you the new beneficiary of my fund.
Hoping to hear from you soon with your reply to me with these following:1) Your full name and Full address.2) Your private/direct telephone number.
I pray that this letter bring you and your family good tiding while my dreams to help humanity rest squarely on your shoulders. Do remember me in your prayers because that is what I needed most for now. Waiting for your reply and Pray for me all the time.
Mrs.Susan Wesley.
