Subject: hello
hello
From:Mrs sandrah Rowland of Nederlanden
I am the above named person from Nederlanden. I am married to Dr.Franklyn
rowland 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 sandrah Rowland
