Subject: warm greetings



Hello,
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend

your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through

this channel.I got your contact
from a professional database found in Internet while searching for a reliable and

honest person that will be an anointed steward in a vision very dear to me.
I am Mrs.Luz Stella Castillo Taborda. person from Colombia undergoing medical

treatment. I am married to Dr. Castillo Tarboda who was a gun runner supplying

arms and ammunition to warring factions in Africa
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 $15.Million (fifteen Million million

dolars) with one finance/security company in EUROPE.
Presently,this money is still with the Security Company.Recently,my doctor told me

that I would not last for more than 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 organization or

individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I

want an organization 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 atrocities of my husband which I

tactically supported. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an

ungodly manner,hence the reason for taking
this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I

know that I am going to be in the bosom.If you consider yourself adequately

equipped morally and spiritually for this mission, please send me a
brief memo of how you intend to use the funds. Please, reply to my alternative

email luztaborda2@walla.com

Thank you and God bless.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs.Luz Stella Castillo Taborda
