directory and decided to mail you for your permission to go ahead. I am Mrs
Corazon Abaya from Phillipines. I am only survivor of late Dr. Biagiotti
Abaya who was owner of a sea food company in Asia for twenty years before he
died in the tsunami disaster along with my children in Asia.Since his death
I have been in the hospital here under medical supervision, just before my
late husbands incident he sold this company and the proceeds was paid into a
private bank account in Europe. Upon his death i was fowarded a notification
to come to the bank premises in Europe to claim this amount since i am his
next of kin but they are unaware of my situation and ailment which is so bad
that i have lost my abilty to communicate verbally,I have been undergoing
treatment for cancer of the lungs in this hospital here in Sharjah , and my
doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.
I want some one that is trustworthy that will utilise 90% of this money to
fund Religious homes, orphanages and less priviledge around the world but in
my family name must this generous donation be made in our family name
"ABAYA" As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the
bank and my late husbands attorney so he will asist you apply for the
release of this funds after introducing you leagally to the bank. I will
also issue you a letter of authorisation that will prove you as the new
beneficiary on behalf of my family. Please I need you to assure me that you
will act accordingly as I stated herein and keep this contact confidential
till such a time this funds get to your custody safe in your nominated
account,this is to ensure that nothing jeopadises my last wish on earth.
I await your urgent reply.
