Subject: HELLO MY DEAR
Beloved One,
Please my dear I do not wish to bother you with this message
but you have to bear with me because my spirits and my soul will rest in the
bosom of the lord in the next three months. Having known my health condition I
have decided to donate a sum of $28.3 Million to church or better still a
Christian individual that will utilize this money according to my wish,
although you may be skeptical receiving this email as we have not met before, I
am Mrs. Monika Kazim from Sao Tome and Principe, I was married to late Mr.
Richard Kazim the CEO of RIDIA Oil Mining & Exploration, I am 58 years old,
I am suffering from a long time cancer of the breast which has affected my
talking & hearing lately. The cancer has reached a critical stage, so my
doctors have courageously advised me to indulge in Prayers as well because it
is clear that I would not live past the next two to three months. I was raised
in an orphanage Home, and was married to my late husband for twenty years
without a child.
My husband and I are true Christians so after his death I
decided not to re-marry, he died in a fatal motor accident which I know is
political motivated because of his venture in the new oil industry. I sold all
my inherited belongings and deposited all the sum of US$28,300,000.00 with a
Bank. Presently, the money is still with the bank, and I received a letter from
the management of the holding bank as the real depositor urging me to come
forward to receive the money after keeping it for such a long or rather issue a
letter of approval or power of attorney to somebody to receive it on my behalf or
the management will confiscate the funds.
Frankly, I can not come over as a result of my illness; I’m
with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment. I have
since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a
few months to live.
It is my last wish to see that this money is invested in any
Charitable Organization of your choice and distributed each year among the
Charity organizations and Orphanages, so I want a good humanitarian to use this
money to fund Churches, Needy and Widows in Sao Tome and Principe or in your
Country but preferably in Sao Tome and Principe. I must let you know that this
was a very hard decision, but I had to take a bold step towards this issue, and
I hope you will help see my last wishes come true.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall use the little money
I have for my drugs and
Medi-care to procure and issue you a letter of authority
which will prove that you are the new beneficiary of my funds and I shall
release the contact of the Bank to you.
Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated
herein. I hope to hear from you soonest if you are willing to handle this
project. Please you can also reach with my private email:
msmonikakazim@hotmail.com.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Monika Kazim.
