Subject: FROM MRS. WASLEY WAGES
PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from CONTOUN. I am
married to Dr. Hilarry WAGES who worked with COTOUN
embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died
in the year 2003.We were married for eleven years
without a child. He died after a brief illness that
lasted for only four days.When my late husband
was alive he deposited the sum of $8.6Million (Eight
Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one
finance/security company in Amsterdam, THE NEITHERLANDS.
Presently, this money is still with the Security
Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not
last for the next three months due to cancer problem.
Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this
fund to church or better still a christian individual
that will utilize this money the way I am going to
instruct here. I want a church that will use this
fund to fund churches, orphanages and widows
propagating the word of God and to ensure that the
house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to
understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.
I took this decision because I don't have any child
that will inherit this money and my husband relatives
are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard
earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don'twant
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 of
the Lord. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard
because of my health .As soon as I receive your reply
I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security
Company in Amsterdam, THE NEITHERLANDS. I will also
issue you a (LETTER OF AUTHORITY WITH A CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT) that will
prove you as the original-beneficiary of this fund.
Please assure me that you will act
accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from
you.
ATTN:Please to avoid unnecessary delays, do contact me with followings details
below:
1. Your full names.
2.telephone / fax number.
3.contact address.
Please, this is the information i need to send to the Finance/Security Company
in Amsterdam, THE NEITHERLANDS befor you can be contacted by them on what
to do next.
NOTE:Please reply with this email address
(Wasleywages@netscape.net)
Thanks and god bless you.
Faithfully,
WASLEY WAGES.
