Subject: Dear ,Your interest would interest me most,
Dear ,Your interest would interest me most,
I am Mrs. Evelyn Creek Hamliton, a British woman, suffering from cancerous ailment.I am married to Mr. Hamilton Creek, my husband worked with Chevron Corporation for twenty years before he died at the age of 54 in 5th of January 2008 after a brief illness. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home due to our tradition.
My husband and I prepared a blueprint for establishing a Foundation that would be directed towards helping the needy in our society. This plan was still in the incubation stage rearing for activation before the sickness that claimed my husband and now left me in this debilitating state. My late husband deposited the sum of 7.5 Million (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a Finance House her in UK.Presently this money is still there I am writing from my sick bed. I am looking for a credible person to whom I will pass the right of next of kin.Although we have not met before, I got your email address on the Internet, and my confidence reposed on you. I hope you read this message carefully and reply me immediately.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the stroke and cancerous problems I am suffering from. I have decided to donate this fund to you and want you to use this gift which comes from my husband's effort to fund the upkeep of widows and charities worldwide. In other words, you shall utilize 75% of this money to either fund churches, orphanages and widows around the world but in our names: EVELYN-HAMLITON FOUNDATION.
This person will apply to the Finance House and request for the transfer of the fund to his/her bank account. This is on the condition that you will take 25% of the fund for yourself, 5% used for expenses, while you will use the remaining 70% for the less privilege people in the society. This is in fulfillment of the last request of my husband that a substantial part of the fund be used to carter for the less privileged. In other words, you shall utilize 70% of this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows around the world but in our names: EVELYN-Hamilton FOUNDATION. I cannot do this my self any more.
If this condition is acceptable by you, please contact me immediately with your Full Names and Contact Information so that I will direct our family lawyer to prepare the authorization that will give you the right of next of kin to the account in the Finance House. I do not want my husband hard earned money to be misused. It bothers on a lot of trust.
You will have to assure me that you will act according to my instructions as I have explained here and to keep this matter confidential till when this fund get to your custody. I cannot predict what will be my fate by the time the fund will be transferred into your account, but you should please ensure that the fund is used as I have described above. Your interest to executing this assignment for the sake of the needy globally would interest me most as I am convinced that I have only few months to stay here on earth.
God Bless you
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Evelyn Creek
