You have Been Chosen As a Leader For the Project
I am Linda Johnson now undergoing medical treatment for cancer. I am
married to Mr. Peter Johnson who worked with South Africa embassy in Malaysia for nine years before he died in the year 2006.
Before the death of my husband, we both made a deposit of some amount of money
worth $9.5M in a consignment with a security and finance institution in
Europe. Recently, my Doctor told me that I have few months to live due to
cancer problem. Having known my condition I have decided to donate this
fund to you so that you can use it to build an orphanage home in your
country to help less privilege.
With the help of my lawyer my doctor will issue you a Letter of Authority from the Court naming you the original Beneficiary of these funds. Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you.
Please send all response strictly to my email below.

In His Arms.
Mrs.Linda Johnson.
