Subject: Mrs Caroline Solange Haafkens



From:Mrs Caroline Solange Haafkens of Nederlanden

I am the above named person from Nederlanden. I am married to Dr.Franklyn Haafkens who worked with canada Embassy in nigeria for nine years before he died in the year 2000.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again christians.Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my
matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of (Four Million six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars)with a commercial bank in the Netherlands

Presently, this money is still with the bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive
the money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody
to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.


Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital where I have been
undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. 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 this money distributed to charity organizations. 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 collect the deposit and the interest accrued from the bank and distribute it accordingly.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will
prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.

My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay
in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another person for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hoping to hearing from you soon.

waiting for your reply


Yours in Christ,

Mrs Caroline Solange Haafkens
