Subject: MRS BLESSING BUMA
Dear ,
I greet you in the Name of GOD.
I am MRS BLESSING BUMA from South Africa.I am married to
Late MR SMITH BUMA of blessed memory who was an oil
explorer in Kuwait and Brunei for fifteen years before he
died in the year 2002.
We were married for twelve years without a child. He died
after a brief illness . Before his death we were both
devoted to our God and respect other who serve him. Since
his death, I too have been battling with both Cancer and
fibroid problems. When my late Husband was alive he
Deposited the sum of $18.5million (Eighteen Million, Five
Hundred thousand U.S Dollars) with a Deposit Company in
Holland. the money is deposited as Family
valuables/Treasure for security reasons.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to
live due to my cancer problem, and this lead to a stroke
attack which bother me most though because I cannot move as
I use to. Having known my condition I decided to entrust
this fund to either a philanthropic organization or devoted
individual that will utilize this money the way I am going
to instructs herein. 30% of the US$18.5million goes to you
to ensure that you are prepared for the task ahead, 60% of
this money will be used in all sincerity to fund
philanthropic organization, orphanages, widows and
5% will go to the family Attorney who will prepare the
Authorisation and the balance 5% sent to me to at least
prepare for my funeral and off-set my medical bills.
I am taking this decision because I don't have any child or
devoted relations whose behavior has left much to be
desired while I am ill and above all I don't want a
situation where this money will be used in an UnGodly
manner,hence this bold decision.
Since my health is Retrogressing by the minute, you will
have to send your POSTAL ADDRESS, CONTACT PHONE NUMBER AND
FAX and a little details about yourself, because I got your
address from the internet after a thorough search.
As soon as I receive this information from you I will make
arrangement to prepare the Authorization through the family
Attorney for you to get Possession of the Deposit. As soon
as I receive your reply to my
confidential email address.
MRS BLESSING BUMA
blessingbuma@webmail.co.za
and the authorization is given to you by me, I will give
you the name and contact of the Deposit company where the
money was Deposited in Holland, for claims to the
consignment.
Until I hear from you, I pray that this letter bring you
and your family good tiding while my dreams to help
humanity rest squarely on your shoulders.
May the Almighty God continue to guide and protect you.
Remain Blessed,
MRS BLESSING BUMA.
