Warm Greetings,

Accept my apologies if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend
you for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this
channel.I got your contact from a proffesional database found in internet
while searching for a reliable and honest person that will be an annointed
steward in a vision very dear to me.

I am Mrs. Luz Taborda, person from Colombia undergoing medical treatment.
I am married to Dr. Castillo Tarboda who was a drug baron and gun runner
supplying arms and ammunition to warring factions all over the world before
he died in the year 2002.We were married for eleven years without a child.He
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 $3.6Million (Three Million
six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with a Deposit company in EUROPE.

Presently,this money is still with the Deposit Company.Recently,my doctor
told me that I would not live beyond three months due to cancer problem.Though
what disturbs me most is my partial paralysis. Having known my condition
I decided to donate this fund to an organisation or individual that will
utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.

I want an organisation or individual that will use this to fund, women and
youth groups, victims of war, environmental protection, charities,orphanages
and widows . It is said that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this
decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and
as a part of restitution for the attrocities of my husband which I tacitly
supported. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an
ungodly manner as I had experienced when I entrusted some money to relatives
and close associates,hence the reason for taking this decision.

If you consider yourself adequately equipped morally and spiritually for
this mission, please send me a breif memo of how you intend to use the funds.

Thank you and God bless.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs.Luz Taborda
