Dear Beloved,
I am Mrs. Rose Ibrahim, the wife of Mr. El Ibrahim, I am a citizens of
Tunisian. My husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Russia for twenty
years before he died in the year 2005.We were married for ten years
without a child. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for
only four days.
Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a
Bank in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the
management just wrote me as the beneficiary that our account has been
DORMANT and if I, as the beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the
account; the funds will be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of
authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf (note that you need
to activate this account) as I can not come over.
Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia where I have been undergoing
treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my ability to talk and
my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live. It is my
last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations anywhere
in the World in helping human race. Because relatives and friends have
plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the
agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I
beg you in the name of God to help me Stand-in as the beneficiary and
collect the Funds from the Bank.
I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this
money, and I am not afraid of death since I know where I am going to. I
don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always.I
don't want them to know about this development. I await your quick
response to this mail as this is my last wish to see this funds
transferred before my Death. Please my beloved for further communication
on how we are going to conclude this, reach me on my private mail:

Remain Blessed
Your Beloved Sister .
