Subject: I seek your Assistance .

Hello,

Please excuse this humble email if it offends your sensibilities, but I have no
other means to contact you. I cannot talk on the telephone, so I did a search
for your email address, which I found on the international directorate email
data search.

My name is Mrs. Anna Gates 69 year’s old woman, A Christian widow who is dying
of esophageal cancer. Recently, My Doctor told me I don’t have much time to
live. This message is a very unusual one but bearing in mind my limitations I
decided to contact you.
Having accepted my condition I decided to entrust some funds I have (US$ 8.2
Million) deposited in Europe to either a philanthropic organization or devoted
individual that will utilize this money for charitable activities.

30% of the money is allocated to you, to ensure that you are prepared for the
task; the balance 70% of this money will be used by you in all sincerity to fund
philanthropic organization and orphanages.

I am taking this decision because I don't have any child or devoted relations
whose behaviour has left much to be desired and above all I don't want a
situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner, hence my bold
decision to contact you, a total stranger. Since my health is regressing by the
minute, you will have to tell me a little about yourself.

With the information, I will make arrangement to prepare the Authorization
through an Attorney for you to get possession of the Deposit. My personal
Reference Number is Law/WILL/ 9834520012.

Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring you and your family good
tidings.

God be with you.

Mrs. Anna Gates.
